A cryptosystem is considered "secure in terms of indistinguishability" if no adversary, given an encryption of a message randomly chosen from a two-element message space determined by the adversary, can identify the message choice with probability significantly better than that of random guessing (). If any adversary can succeed in distinguishing the chosen ciphertext with a probability significantly greater than , then this adversary is considered to have an "advantage" in distinguishing the ciphertext, and the scheme is "not" considered secure in terms of indistinguishability. This definition encompasses the notion that in a secure scheme, the adversary should learn no information from seeing a ciphertext. Therefore, the adversary should be able to do no better than if it guessed randomly.
