In computational complexity, if 
and 
are two distribution ensembles indexed by a security parameter n, then we say they are computationally indistinguishable if for any nonuniform probabilistic polynomial time algorithm A, the following quantity is a negligible function in n:
![\delta(n) = \left| \Pr_{x \gets D_n}[ A(x) = 1] - \Pr_{x \gets E_n}[ A(x) = 1] \right|.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/9/e/a/9ea8766080a6ffd516258bc806af3eaa.png)
In other words, for every efficient algorithm A, its behavior does not significantly change when given samples according to Dn or En.
