Is it secure if a secret key is used in the function of a functional encryption?

uz flag

In my scheme, two functional encryptions FE1 and FE2 are used. The function f1 corresponding to FE1 is as follows:

f1_y(x)
{ hardwired msk2
  output  sk2 = FE2.KeyGen(msk2, (x, y))
}

where msk2 is the master key of FE2.

Then, the user obtains the private key sk1_y=FE1.KeyGen(msk1, y). For any ciphertext c=FE1.Enc(x), the user can obtain a new private key sk2 = FE1.Dec(sk1_y, c).

Is it secure that msk2 is embedded in the function f? How to prove the security?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
