Abstract

In this paper, we show a practical solution to the problems where one-wayness of hash functions does not guarantee cryptographic systems to be secure enough. We strengthen the notion of one-wayness of hash functions and construct strongly one-way hash functions from any one-way hash function or any one-way function.
