Abstract: In this paper we prove the intractability of learning several classes of Boolean functions in
the distribution-free model (also called the Probably Approximately Correct or PAC model)
of learning from examples. These results are representation independent, in that they hold
regardless of the syntactic form in which the learner chooses to represent its hypotheses.
Our methods reduce the problems of cracking a number of well-known public-key cryptosystems
to the learning problems. We prove that a ... (Update)
