Hide Randomness in Ciphertext

You can compute an $f(g(m))$ in which $g(m)$ is your encryption method and $f$ is a meaningful mapping function. As an example of $f$ I can mention a dictionary codebook mapping. …

Security of the encryptions, using a PRG for the keyGen

When we use the output of a PRG as the key for a symmetric key encryption, doesn't it mean that the adversary still only needs to check exhaustively the space of the seed? … The encryption method that made me sceptical is an encryption scheme which works only by different rounds of permutations sequentially (i.e., it divides the message into blocks, permutes the blocks, and …
