A method is disclosed whereby a high performance, high integrity, cryptographically secure sequence generator based on zeta one-way functions is specified for pseudorandom sequence generation, authentication, key transfer by public discussion, and message transmission by public-key encryption. The method encompasses a new one-way function with trapdoor based on Artin reciprocity in an algebraic number field. Public keys are pseudorandom sequences based on zeta one-way functions. In the simplest instance of this method, public keys are quadratic signatures, i.e. special sequences of Jacobi symbols. The generation, transfer, and sharing of private keys is a process based on the law of quadratic reciprocity. The computational complexity of the quadratic signature problem provides the foundation for the cryptographic security of this method. This new trapdoor one-way function is distinct from constructions in the prior art.
