Abstract
This section introduces cryptographic primitives and their foundation. The presentation follows common notations and definitions. To keep these preliminaries short and readable, we omit some special cases and slightly simplify certain definitions when the omitted exceptions are of no interest here. We assume the reader is familiar with general probability theory and basic group theory, even though we give a short introduction into the latter in Sect. 2.1.2.
