One Way Function Candidate based on the Collatz Problem
share
The one way function based on Collatz problem is proposed. While Colatz (3x+1) problem is well known and undecided, the proposal is actually based on the problem's underlying conditional branching structure. The analysis shows why the 3x+1 problem is so difficult and how the algorithm conditional branching structure can be used to construct an one way function.
