The random oracle model is an idealized theoretical model that has been successfully used for designing many cryptographic algorithms and protocols. Unfortunately, a series of results has shown that proofs of security in the idealized random oracle model do not translate into security in the standard model (basically synonymous with “real systems”), so the reasoning that protocols designed using random oracles are secure on real systems is heuristic at best, and fundamentally flawed at worst. In this paper, we consider how architectural changes taking place in real sys
