hi Mayur,    Thanks for replying,but i want some mathematical functions like "factorization" something which deals purely with numbers.For example computing factors for very large numbers is hard but verifying whether a number is a factor of that number is very simple,i want some mathematical funct

Gene probably meant a hash function. Encryption functions may not necessarily be completely mathematical - since many of them operate on bits (components of the real information). Saravana - do a Google search on one-way functions. Also, take a look at this link http://www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il/~

Any encription algorithm y = E(x) takes a string x to a new string y, which is easy to compute. The inverse function x = E^-1(y) is a mathematical function that is "extremely hard to compute (if the encription algorithm is any good) but very easy to verify." I.e. if you give me x for a given y,

Unfortunately, just saying "...but with no success", without posting any of your code or examples of what's working and what's not working... well, it leaves a big empty hole to try and fill for anyone wanting to assist. I suggest you visit Dr. Math for this, and also Wolfram's site, and see if t

If you're talking about database indexing - looking at "Database system Implementation" by Ullman-Widom-GarciaMolina is a good start. You can then lookup various papers from either ACM (if you have access to it) or citeseer. On 12/24/05, csheppard91 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello, I have a fairl

hi guys, Can u suggest a mathematical function which is extremely hard to compute but very easy to verify. for eg.Consider the factorization of large intergers,its hard to compute but easy to verify --Saravana Kumar--
