In this work we apply the Type-Safe (TS) generic group model, recently introduced by Zhandry (2022), to the more general setting of group actions and extend it to the universal composability (UC) framework of Canetti (2000). We then relax this resulting model, that we call UC-TS, to define an algebraic action framework (UC-AA), where the adversaries can behave algebraically, similarly to the algebraic group model (AGM), but for group actions. Finally, we instantiate UC-AA with isogeny-based assumptions, obtaining the Explicit-Isogeny model, UC-EI, and show that, under certain assumptions, UC-EI is less restricting that UC-AGM. We demonstrate the utility of our definitions by proving UC-EI security for the passive-secure protocol described by Lai et al. (2021), hence providing the first concretely efficient two-round isogeny-based OT protocol in the random oracle model against malicious adversaries.
