Snuffle is symmetric key encryption, and yes, it's a well-known construction. However, you previously suggested that an asymmetric encryption scheme (with public and private keys) could be constructed using a hash.


oh, right. It’s only good for signing and random number generation, not encryption.

Still that’s plenty useful! It can be used for blockchains and crypto currency.
