Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Problem on Curve25519 (without breaking
$\SymCipher$ as an authenticated encryption scheme or $\Blake{256}$ as
$\SymSpecific$ as an authenticated encryption scheme or $\Blake{256}$ as
a KDF) would not help to decrypt the \notesCiphertext unless
$\TransmitPublic$ is known or guessed.
\item The KDF also takes a public seed $\hSig$ as input. This can be modeled
