a function easy to compute on every input but hard to invert on a random output, the minimal assumption behind most of modern cryptography.

In cryptography, one-way function refers to a function easy to compute on every input but hard to invert on a random output, the minimal assumption behind most of modern cryptography. This meaning comes from Diffie (1976) in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory.[1]
