  text: "The Full-Domain Hash (FDH) signature scheme [3] forms one the most basic
    usages of random oracles. It works with a family F of trapdoor permutations (TDP),
    where the signature of m is computed as f−1(h(m)) (here f ∈R F and h is modelled
    as a random oracle). It is known to be existentially unforgeable for any TDP family
    F [3], although a much tighter security reduction is known for a restrictive class
    of TDP’s [10,14] — namely, those induced by a family of claw-free permutations
    (CFP) pairs. The latter result was shown [11] to match the best possible “black-box”
    security reduction in the random oracle model, irrespective of the TDP family
    F (e.g., RSA) one might use.\r\nIn this work we investigate the question if it
    is possible to instantiate the random oracle h with a “real” family of hash functions
    H such that the corresponding schemes can be proven secure in the standard model,
    under some natural assumption on the family F. Our main result rules out the existence
    of such instantiations for any assumption on F which (1) is satisfied by a family
    of random permutations; and (2) does not allow the attacker to invert f ∈R F on
    an a-priori unbounded number of points. Moreover, this holds even if the choice
    of H can arbitrarily depend on f. As an immediate corollary, we rule out instantiating
    FDH based on general claw-free permutations, which shows that in order to prove
    the security of FDH in the standard model one must utilize significantly more
    structure on F than what is sufficient for the best proof of security in the random
    oracle model."
