We reinvestigate a notion of one-time programs introduced in the CRYPTO 2008 paper by Goldwasser et al. A one-time program is a device containing a program C, with the property that the program C can be executed on at most one input. Goldwasser et al. show how to implement one-time programs on devices equipped with special hardware gadgets called one-time memory tokens. We provide an alternative construction that does not rely on the hardware gadgets. Instead, it is based on the following
