To label, or not to label (in generic groups)

M Zhandry - Annual International Cryptology Conference, 2022 - Springer
Generic groups are an important tool for analyzing the feasibility and in-feasibility of group-
based cryptosystems. There are two distinct wide-spread versions of generic groups …
