What is the significance of one-way functions for cryptography?..

Answer / Shrawan Kumar Meena

One-way functions are critical in cryptography because they are easy to compute in one direction (i.e., producing the output from the input) but computationally infeasible to reverse (i.e., finding the input given the output). One-way functions form the basis for many modern encryption and digital signature schemes, as they provide a secure means of hiding information without requiring the parties involved to share their secrets.
