[#R1676] Strongest checked neighboring result
claim. Candidate constructions follow from factoring, lattice, coding, and other assumptions; black-box and structural equivalences connect OWFs to cryptographic primitives.
1Summary
This leaves the following boundary unresolved: No unconditional construction or impossibility theorem is known. The distinction is retained here so a restricted theorem, finite computation, or neighboring case is not presented as a solution of the full target.
Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
2Evidence
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
