Practice-Oriented Provable Security and the Social Construction of Cryptography
Phillip Rogaway · IEEE Security & Privacy · 2016
Cryptographers used to associate provable security with public-key cryptography, asymptotic analyses, and inefficient proof-of-concept designs. These associations are outdated, invalidated by the emergence of practice-oriented provable security. Its rise supports as the backdrop for a constructionist view of cryptography. This view entails that claim that cryptographic work isn't a consequence of what cryptographers aim to study so much as a reflection of a community's sensibilities.
