Technical Perspective: Finding Connections between One-Way Functions and Kolmogorov Complexity
"Toward Basing Cryptography on the Hardness of EXP," by Yanyi Liu and Rafael Pass, establishes surprisingly tight bidirectional connections between one-way functions and the cross-domain notion of Kolmogorov complexity.Toward Basing Cryptography on the Hardness of EXP
We show that the only "gap" toward getting (infinitely-often) OWFs from the assumption that EXP ≠ BPP is the seemingly "minor" technical gap between two-sided error and errorless average-case hardness of the MKtP problem.COLUMN: Last Byte
