Abstract.This paper investigates which complexity classes inside NCcan contain pseudorandom function generators (PRFGs). Under the Decisional
Diffie-Hellman assumption (a common cryptographic assumption) $ \textit{TC}^{0} $4 contains PRFGs. No lower complexity classes with this property
are currently known. On the other hand, we use effective lower
bound arguments to show that some complexity classes cannot contain
PRFGs. This provides evidence for the following conjecture: Any effective
lower bound argument for a complexity class can be turned into
an efficient distinguishing algorithm which proves that this class cannot
