Abstract

Pseudorandom generators are fundamental to many theoretical and applied aspects of computing. We show how to construct a pseudorandom generator from any one-way function. Since it is easy to construct a one-way function from a pseudorandom generator, this result shows that there is a pseudorandom generator if and only if there is a one-way function.
