In a recent paper \cite{Zhang-Xiao}, Zhang and Xiao describe a technique on constructing almost optimal resilient functions on even number of variables. In this paper, we will present an extensive study of the constructions of almost…
We describe several families of efficiently implementable Boolean functions achieving provable trade-offs between resiliency, nonlinearity, and algebraic immunity. In particular, the following statement holds for each of the function…
Algebraic immunity has been proposed as an important property of Boolean functions. To resist algebraic attack, a Boolean function should possess high algebraic immunity. It is well known now that the algebraic immunity of an $n$-variable…
A Boolean function on n variables is q-resilient if for any subset of at most q variables, the function is very likely to be determined by a uniformly random assignment to the remaining n-q variables; in other words, no coalition of at most…
In this paper, we explicitly construct a large class of symmetric Boolean functions on $2k$ variables with algebraic immunity not less than $d$, where integer $k$ is given arbitrarily and $d$ is a given suffix of $k$ in binary…
Constructing $2m$-variable Boolean functions with optimal algebraic immunity based on decomposition of additive group of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{2^{2m}}$ seems to be a promising approach since Tu and Deng's work. In this paper, we…
We propose a general approach to construct cryptographic significant Boolean functions of $(r+1)m$ variables based on the additive decomposition $\mathbb{F}_{2^{rm}}\times\mathbb{F}_{2^m}$ of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{2^{(r+1)m}}$,…
Idempotent Boolean functions form a highly structured subclass of Boolean functions that is closely related to rotation symmetry under a normal-basis representation and to invariance under a fixed linear map in a polynomial basis. These…
We describe a new class of Boolean functions which provide the presently best known trade-off between low computational complexity, nonlinearity and (fast) algebraic immunity. In particular, for $n\leq 20$, we show that there are functions…
This paper investigates the learnability of the nonlinearity property of Boolean functions using neural networks. We train encoder style deep neural networks to learn to predict the nonlinearity of Boolean functions from examples of…
The number of $n$-ary balanced correlation immune (resilient) Boolean functions of order $\frac{n}{2}$ is not less than $n^{2^{(n/2)-2}(1+o(1))}$ as $n\rightarrow\infty$. Keywords: resilient function, correlation immune function, orthogonal…
In this paper, we first present a new secondary construction of bent functions (building new bent functions from two already defined ones). Furthermore, we apply the construction using as initial functions some specific bent functions and…
First, we construct a class of functions with good local avalanche characteristics, but bad global avalanche characteristics. We also derive some bounds for the nonlinearity of such functions. It improves upon the results of Son et al., and…
Boolean functions are important primitives in different domains of cryptology, complexity and coding theory. In this paper, we connect the tools from cryptology and complexity theory in the domain of Boolean functions with low polynomial…
In this article, we study algebraic decompositions and secondary constructions of almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions. In many cases, we establish precise criteria which characterize when certain modifications of a given APN function…
The vectorial Boolean functions are employed in cryptography to build block coding algorithms. An important criterion on these functions is their resistance to the differential cryptanalysis. Nyberg defined the notion of almost perfect…
Boolean functions are mathematical objects used in diverse applications. Different applications also have different requirements, making the research on Boolean functions very active. In the last 30 years, evolutionary algorithms have been…
To resist algebraic attack, a Boolean function should possess good algebraic immunity (AI). Several papers constructed symmetric functions with the maximum algebraic immunity $\lceil \frac{n}{2}\rceil $. In this correspondence we prove that…
An $n$-bit boolean function is resilient to coalitions of size $q$ if any fixed set of $q$ bits is unlikely to influence the function when the other $n-q$ bits are chosen uniformly. We give explicit constructions of depth-$3$ circuits that…
We associate to each Boolean function a polynomial whose evaluations represents the distances from all possible Boolean affine functions. Both determining the coefficients of this polynomial from the truth table of the Boolean function and…
