# LR-Oracle Experiment in Lindell and Katz

In reference to the LR-Oracle experiment in “Introduction to Modern Cryptography” (2nd edition) by Lindell & Katz, Definition 3.23 states a scheme $\pi = (Gen,Enc_K,Dec_K)$ is CPA secure for multiple encryptions if (to use the notation of Lindell and Katz)

$$$$\textbf{Pr}[\textbf{PrivK}_{\mathcal{A},\pi}^{LR-cpa}(n) = 1] \leq 1/2 + \textbf{negl(n)}$$$$

Some questions:

1. I'm assuming that this implies that for $\pi$ that satisfies the above, it's safe to provide oracle access to $Enc_{K}(\cdot)$ to a CPA adversary $\mathcal{A}$, and by implication its safe to expose a counter mode encryption oracle to a CPA adversary

2. If not, what is the exact definition that tells me the conditions under which it's safe to expose an encryption oracle to a CPA adversary?

3. Since CCA security requires non-malleability in the cipher, is it true to say that adding authentication to a CPA secure scheme in the manner of an AEAD scheme is the sole requirement to additionally provide non-malleability / security against a CCA adversary, thereby making it safe to additionally expose a decryption oracle to $\pi$ to the adversary?
