Source sentences:
text: A function f : {0,1}* → {0,1}* is one-way if f can be computed by a polynomial time algorithm, but any polynomial time randomized algorithm F {\displaystyle F} that attempts to compute a pseudo-inverse for f succeeds with negligible probability.
text: Functions in the other hand are ways a programming language has to compute some data, for instance you might have the function addValues( 8 , 8 ) that returns 16
text: Functions are another way of describing certain things mathematically.
text: Not being one-to-one is not considered sufficient for a function to be called one-way (see Theoretical definition, below).
text: Clearly, it is not known whether these functions are indeed one-way; but extensive research has so far failed to produce an efficient inverting algorithm for any of them.[citation needed]
text: In other words, if any function is one-way, then so is f. Since this function was the first combinatorial complete one-way function to be demonstrated, it is known as the "universal one-way function".
