Abstract :
Conditions are given under which a one-way function can be used safely in a programming language. The security proof involves showing that secrets cannot be leaked easily by any program meeting the conditions unless breaking the one-way function is easy. The result is applied to a password system where passwords are stored in a public file as images under a one-way function
