We describe a new proposal for a trap-door one-way function.
The new proposal belongs to the ``multivariate quadratic\'\'
family but the trap-door is different from existing methods,
and is simpler.
Known quantum algorithms do not appear to help an adversary
attack this trap-door. (Beyond the asymptotic
square-root-speedup which applies to all oracle search
problems.)
