M. Anshel and D. Goldfeld, "Zeta Functions, One-Way Functions, and Pseudorandom Number Generators", Duke Mathematical Journal, Vol. 88 No. 2 (1997) 371-390. "In 1997,Anshel and Goldfeld [6],presented an explicit construction of a pseudorandom number generator arising from an elliptic curve,which can be effectively computed at low computational cost. They introduced a new intractable problem,distinct from integer factorization or the discrete log problem, that leads to a new class of one-way functions based on the theory of zeta functions,and against which there is no known attack."- Richard M.
