VMPC One-Way Function

The VMPC function is a combination of two basic operations: permutation composition and integer addition. The function resulting from this combination shows to have very high resistance to inverting. Computational effort of about 2^260 operations is estimated to be required to invert the VMPC function. The value of the function can be computed with 3 elementary computer processor instructions per byte. An open question is whether the function\u27s simplicity raises a realistic chance that the lower bound on the complexity of inverting it might be proved

Proposing a Master One-Way Function

Making an arbitrary binary string fit as a fixed size cipher key (via hashing) one could use an arbitrary string x as both plaintext and key to generate a ciphertext, y defined as the crypto square of x , while x is the crypto square root of y. Extended to higher powers, this formalism allows for polynomial morphology that combines all one-way functions candidates into a single master function which is at least as intractable as its best ingredient one-way function. The master list has some interesting and useful attributes: at will size for both input and output, controlled forward computational burden, milestone computing, and of course the best practical chance for being one-way

Cryptography from tensor problems

We describe a new proposal for a trap-door one-way function. The new proposal belongs to the "multivariate quadratic" family but the trap-door is different from existing methods, and is simpler
