Abstract

EFRST20, the notion of cc-differentials was introduced as a potential expansion of differential cryptanalysis against block ciphers utilizing substitution boxes. Drawing inspiration from the technique of higher order differential cryptanalysis, in this paper we propose the notion of higher order cc-derivatives and differentials and investigate their properties. Additionally, we consider how several classes of functions, namely the multiplicative inverse function and the Gold function, perform under higher order cc-differential uniformity.
