Abstract
In this paper some cryptographic properties of Boolean functions, including weight, balancedness and nonlinearity, are studied, particularly focusing on splitting functions and cubic Boolean functions. Moreover, we present some quantities derived from the behaviour of second-order derivatives which allow us to determine whether a quadratic or cubic function is APN.
