An '''''ideal''''' cipher is a [[random permutation]] oracle that is used to model an idealized block cipher. A random permutation decrypts each ciphertext block into one and only one plaintext block and vice versa, so there is a [[one-to-one correspondence]]. Some cryptographic proofs make not only the "forward" permutation available to all players, but also the "reverse" permutation.

Recent works showed that an ideal cipher can be constructed from a random oracle using 10-round<ref name="DKT16">{{cite conference | first1 = Dana  | last1 = Dachman-Soled | first2 = Jonathan  | last2 = Katz | first3 = Aishwarya  | last3 = Thiruvengadam | title = 10-Round Feistel is Indifferentiable from an Ideal Cipher | year = 2016 | book-title = EUROCRYPT 2016  | publisher = Springer | pages = 649–678  | doi = 10.1007/978-3-662-49896-5_23 }}</ref> or even 8-round<ref name="C:DaiSte16">{{cite conference | first1=Yuanxi | last1=Dai | first2=John | last2=Steinberger | year=2016 | book-title= CRYPTO 2016 | publisher = Springer | title=Indifferentiability of 8-Round Feistel Networks}}</ref> [[Feistel network]]s.
