\subsection{Notation}
\subsubsection{General Notation}
For an integer n, $\field{n}$ is defined as the residual ring $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$. $a \randomsample A$ denotes sampling the element $a$ from an non-empty set $A$ uniformly at random. A function $f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is called negligible if there exists a $N \in \mathbb{N}$ for all polynomials $p$ so that $\forall n \geq N: f(n) < \frac{1}{p(n)}$. All algorithms are probabilistic polynomial time (ppt) unless stated otherwise. $o \randomassign \adversary{A}(I)$ denotes running the algorithm $\adversary{A}$ with input $I$ and uniformly random coins and $o$ describing its output. If $\adversary{A}$ has additionally access to an oracle $O$ this is denoted as $o \randomassign \adversary{A}^{O(\inp)}(I)$. A security game consists of a main procedure and optionally some oracle procedures. The main procedure runs and adversary $\adversary{A}$ given some inputs and access to the oracle procedures and getting some output from the adversary $\adversary{A}$. Based on the output of the adversary $\adversary{A}$ and its oracle calls the main procedure outputs $1$ or $0$ depending on whether the adversary $\adversary{A}$ won the game.
\subsubsection{Algebraic Notation}
A group description is denoted as a tuple $\mathbf{G} = (L, \mathbb{G}, \groupelement{B})$ with $\mathbb{G}$ being a cyclic group of prime order $L$ generated by group element $\groupelement{B}$. The group uses additive notation for its group law and group elements are denoted by uppercase letters. It is assumed that there exists a group generation algorithm that, upon inputting $1^\secparamter$, outputs a group description $\mathbf{G}$ with $L$ being $\secparamter$ bits in length.
