Abstract

Functions whose value at one point can be interpolated from values at other points have occupied a special place in cryptography. In this paper we will develop a general concept of 'coherence' to capture this property and show its applications to several models of program checking. The concept and techniques also have applications in Hellman's time-memory tradeoff for inverting random functions.
