From the theoretical construction of Brands and Gill (1996), it is clear that the proof of Pseudo randomness of the quadratic residue generator is complete if it can be shown that there exists a one-way function under the possible assumption that it is infeasible to solve the quadratic residuacity problem provided the factorization of the composite integer is unknownenAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United Stateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/Quadratic residuacitypseudorandom number generatorone-way functionArticle
