What is the ideal system for an encryption scheme? For a pseudorandom permutation the ideal one is a random permutation, for a pseudorandom function the ideal one is a random function. For an encryption scheme do we have a well known application describing an ideal system for an encryption? Maybe the one-time pad?

    $\begingroup$ If you are concerned about idealization of crypto protocols (of which encryption is a special case), you could look up references about the Universal Composability framework (UC framework). $\endgroup$
