Abstract

Very recently, a new concept called multiplicative differential and the corresponding cc-differential uniformity were introduced by Ellingsen et al. A function F(x)F(x) over finite field GF(pn)\mathrm{GF}(p^n) to itself is called cc-differential uniformity δ\delta, or equivalent, F(x)F(x) is differentially (c,δ)(c,\delta) uniform, when the maximum number of solutions xGF(pn)x\in\mathrm{GF}(p^n) of F(x+a)F(cx)=bF(x+a)-F(cx)=b, a,b,cGF(pn)a,b,c\in\mathrm{GF}(p^n), c1c\neq1 if a=0a=0, is equal to δ\delta. The objective of this paper is to study the 1-1-differential uniformity of ternary APN power functions F(x)=xdF(x)=x^d over GF(3n)\mathrm{GF}(3^n). We obtain ternary power functions with low 1-1-differential uniformity, and some of them are almost perfect 1-1-nonlinear.
