Concrete Cryptologic Assumptions

There are concrete cryptologic assumptions, such as the factoring assumption, and more general abstract ones, such as a one-way function exists . 

The main underlying cryptologic assumption is therefore that factoring large integers is infeasible. Concrete versions have later been called the factoring assumption (see Section 8.4).. To this day, it has remained one of the two most important assumptions to base asymmetric cryptologic schemes on.
