Secure Introduction of One-way Functions

Abstract

Conditions are given under which a one-way function can be used safely in a programming language. the security proof involves showing that secrets cannot be leaked easily by an program meeting the conditions unless breaking the one-way function is easy. The result is applied to a password system where passwords are stored in a public file as images under a one-way function.
