Abstract
The first step in constructing a provably secure cryptosystem in public-key cryptography is to clarify its cryptographic notion and formalize the definitions of the algorithm and its corresponding security model. A cryptographic notion helps the reader understand the definition of the algorithm, while the security model is essential for measuring the strength of a proposed scheme. Both a scheme construction and its security proof require knowledge of the corresponding cryptographic foundations.
