| Show that there is no universal hardcore bit. | |
| In more detail, show that for every $n\in\mathbb{N}$, there is no deterministic function $h: \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ such that for any polynomial $p()$, \emph{any} one-way function $f: \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}^{p(n)}$, $h$ is a hardcore bit for $f$. |
