A Direct PRF Construction from Kolmogorov Complexity

ePrint Report: A Direct PRF Construction from Kolmogorov Complexity

Yanyi Liu, Rafael Pass

While classic result in the 1980s establish that one-way functions (OWFs) imply the existence of pseudorandom generators (PRGs) which in turn imply pseudorandom functions (PRFs), the constructions (most notably the one from OWFs to PRGs) is complicated and inefficient.


Consequently, researchers have developed alternative \emph{direct} constructions of PRFs from various different concrete hardness assumptions. In this work, we continue this thread of work and demonstrate the first …
