Some questions about the book "Tutorials on the foundations of cryptography: dedicated to Oded Goldreich"

  1. The proof of Theorem 5.2.13 : For semantic security, the author wrote "$m_1 \leftarrow {\rm Sim_1}(1^\lambda)$". I think it may contradict with the security requirement defined in Definition 5.2.11 and Definition 5.2.12 where it is required that the outputs of ${\rm Sim_1}(1^\lambda)$ and ${\rm SFE1_F}(1^\lambda, x)$ should be indistinguishable, that is, it should be "$(s, m_1) \leftarrow {\rm Sim_1}(1^\lambda)$" instead of "$m_1 \leftarrow {\rm Sim_1}(1^\lambda)$".

Theorem 5.2.13  Definition 5.2.11 and Definition 5.2.12

  1. Definition 5.2.12 : The secret inputs y and x are not provided to the simulators ${\rm Sim_1}$ and ${\rm Sim_2}$. I think it may contradict with Definition 6.4.1, where the secret inputs are required to be provided to the simulators.

Definition 5.2.12 Definition 6.4.1

  1. Definition 5.2.11 and Definition 5.2.12 : Does ${\rm F}(x, y) = {\rm SFE3_F}(s, m_2)$ hold if $(s, m_1)$ is generated by using ${\rm Sim_1}$ and $m_2$ is generated by using ${\rm Sim_2}$?

Definition 5.2.11 Definition 5.2.12

please provide at least a link to the document and you should use MathJax to write equations.

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.
