Abstract

In this paper we characterize the cc-Boomerang Connectivity Table (BCT), c0c\neq 0 (thus, including the classical c=1c=1 case), for all monomial function xdx^d in terms of characters and Weil sums on the finite field~\Fpn\F_{p^n}. We further simplify these expressions for the Gold functions xpk+1x^{p^k+1} for all 1k<n1\leq k<n, and pp odd. It is the first such attempt for a complete description for the classical BCT and its relative cc-BCT, for all parameters involved.
