2019
Poststructuralism has been repeatedly classified as a form of relativism.

Relativized cryptography

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 1979
It appears to be very difficult to give a formal definition of computational security for public-key cryptography. A slightly different notion, called transient-key cryptography, is defined for which a natural definition of security against chosen-plaintext attacks is given.
