[#R1674] Dated source and duplicate audit
1Summary
The exact target, equivalent terminology, and 2025-2026 status evidence were checked on 2026-08-01. Strongest checked result: Candidate constructions follow from factoring, lattice, coding, and other assumptions; black-box and structural equivalences connect OWFs to cryptographic primitives. Unresolved remainder: No unconditional construction or impossibility theorem is known.
The audit ran on 2026-08-01 across the cited primary literature and problem collections, Crossref, arXiv, and stable publisher records, TheoremDB published, prospecting, packet, formal, and retired corpus. It checked the exact statement, its named or normalized variants, recent status evidence, and the controlled TheoremDB corpus.
Queries included: - unconditional existence one way functions open problem 2026 - one-way functions exist average case complexity open
Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
2Outcome
A verification source is cited. This record has no executable replay attached.
Verification source: doi.org ↗, R. Impagliazzo and M. Luby, One-way functions are essential for complexity based cryptography, FOCS 1989. main equivalence theorems
