“The notion of functional re-encryption security (funcCPA) for public-key encryption schemes was recently introduced by Akavia et al. (TCC’22), in the context of homomorphic encryption. This notion lies in between CPA security and CCA security: we give the attacker a functional re-encryption oracle instead of the decryption oracle of CCA security. … In this work we observe that funcCPA security may have applications beyond homomorphic encryption and set out to study its properties.”
