摘要
The aim of this paper is to emphasize the significance of a certain mathematical problem in research on information security. We point out that the mathematical problem, which we refer to as "Function Density Problem," has connections to the following two major cryptographic topics; security analysis of hash functions in the real world (like SHA-1), and construction of pseudorandom generators with some enhanced security property. We also provide a first example to show how a study of Function Density Problem can contribute to the progress of the above-mentioned two topics. Other potential applications of Function Density Problem to information security are also discussed.
