We show how to efficiently construct a pseudorandom invertible permutation generator from a pseudorandom function generator. Goldreich, Goldwasser and Micali "How to construct random functions," Proc. 25th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, October 24–26, 1984. introduce the notion of a pseudorandom function generator and show how to efficiently construct a pseudorandom function generator from a pseudorandom bit generator. We use some of the ideas behind the design of the Data Encryption Standard for our construction. A practical implication of our result is that any pseudorandom bit generator can be used to construct a block private key cryptosystem which is secure against chosen plaintext attack, which is one of the strongest known attacks against a cryptosystem.
