Game-based cryptography in HOL
by Andreas Lochbihler, S. Reza Sefidgar, and Bhargav Bhatt

In this AFP entry, we show how to specify game-based cryptographic
security notions and formally prove secure several cryptographic
constructions from the literature using the CryptHOL framework. Among
others, we formalise the notions of a random oracle, a pseudo-random
function, an unpredictable function, and of encryption schemes that are
indistinguishable under chosen plaintext and/or ciphertext attacks. We
prove the random-permutation/random-function switching lemma, security
of the Elgamal and hashed Elgamal public-key encryption scheme and
correctness and security of several constructions with pseudo-random
functions.

Our proofs follow the game-hopping style advocated by
Shoup and Bellare and Rogaway, from which most of the examples have
been taken. We generalise some of their results such that they can be
reused in other proofs. Thanks to CryptHOL's integration with
Isabelle's parametricity infrastructure, many simple hops are easily
justified using the theory of representation independence.

Enjoy 5/5,
René
