Abstract

In 2004, Koblitz and Menezes started [2] a series of papers questioning the methodology and impact of provable security. We take another look, by comparing cryptanalysis results and provable security results on a variety of topics. We argue that security is complex, and that there is much to gain from better interaction between cryptanalysis and provable security.
