Boomerang uniformity of a class of power maps

Abstract

We consider the boomerang uniformity of an infinite class of (locally-APN) power maps and show that its boomerang uniformity over the finite field \F2n\F_{2^n} is 22 and 44, when n0(mod4)n \equiv 0 \pmod 4 and n2(mod4)n \equiv 2 \pmod 4, respectively. As a consequence, we show that for this class of power maps, the differential uniformity is strictly greater than its boomerang uniformity.
