Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Time-lock puzzles allow one to encapsulate a message for a pre-determined amount of time.
The message is required to be concealed from any algorithm running in parallel time less than the pre-determined amount of time.
The security of time-lock puzzles was formalized based on indistinguishability.
However, it is unclear whether it directly meets the security requirements of time-lock puzzles.

In this work, we define semantic security, which captures the security requirements of the time-lock puzzles more directly.
We consider three adversary's computational restrictions and see how the security relationship changes.
The first, the traditional definition, we cannot prove that the semantic security implies the indistinguishability, same as the opposite implication.
The second, relaxed definition compared to the first one, we can prove that the semantic security implies the indistinguishability. By contrast, we cannot prove the opposite implication.
The third, relaxed definition compared to the second one, we can prove that the semantic security implies the indistinguishability, same as the opposite implication.
This shows that indistinguishability meets the security requirements of time-lock puzzles in a certain restriction.
Finally, we present a scheme that meets semantic security.
