Title:
Building Hard Problems by Combining Easy Ones

Authors: Riddhi Ghosal, Amit Sahai

Abstract:

In this work, we initiate a new conceptual line of attack on the fundamental question of how to generate hard problems. Motivated by the need for one-way functions in cryptography, we propose an information-theoretic framework to study the question of generating new provably hard one-way functions by composing functions that are easy to invert and evaluate, where each such easy function is modeled as a random oracles paired with another oracle that implements an inverse function.
