Rotation symmetric Boolean functions have important applications in the design of cryptographic algorithms. In this paper, the Conjecture about rotation symmetric Boolean functions (RSBFs) of degree 3 proposed by Cusik and St\u{a}nic\u{a}…
Let $f_n(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n)$ denote the algebraic normal form (polynomial form) of a rotation symmetric Boolean function of degree $d$ in $n \geq d$ variables and let $wt(f_n)$ denote the Hamming weight of this function. Let $(1, a_2,…
Let $f_n(x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_{n-1})$ denote the algebraic normal form (polynomial form) of a rotation symmetric (RS) Boolean function of degree $d$ in $n \geq d$ variables and let $wt(f_n)$ denote the Hamming weight of this function. Let…
Let $(0, a_1, \ldots, a_{d-1})_n$ denote the function $f_n(x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_{n-1})$ of degree $d$ in $n$ variables generated by the monomial $x_0x_{a_1} \cdots x_{a_{d-1}}$ and having the property that $f_n$ is invariant under cyclic…
A Boolean function in $n$ variables is rotation symmetric (RS) if it is invariant under powers of $\rho(x_1, \ldots, x_n) = (x_2, \ldots, x_n, x_1)$. An RS function is called monomial rotation symmetric (MRS) if it is generated by applying…
Homogeneous rotation symmetric Boolean functions have been extensively studied in recent years because of their applications in cryptography. Little is known about the basic question of when two such functions are affine equivalent. The…
We study the nonlinearity and the weight of the rotation-symmetric (RotS) functions defined by Pieprzyk and Qu. We give exact results for the nonlinearity and weight of 2-degree RotS functions with the help of the semi-bent functions and we…
Rotation symmetric Boolean functions are invariant under circular translation of indices. These functions have very rich cryptographic properties and have been used in different cryptosystems. Recently, Thomas Cusick proved that exponential…
Rotation symmetric Boolean functions represent an interesting class of Boolean functions as they are relatively rare compared to general Boolean functions. At the same time, the functions in this class can have excellent properties, making…
The nonlinearity of a Boolean function is a key property in deciding its suitability for cryptographic purposes, e.g. as a combining function in stream ciphers, and so the nonlinearity computation is an important problem for applications.…
The r-th order nonlinearity of a Boolean function is the minimum number of elements that have to be changed in its truth table to arrive at a Boolean function of degree at most r. It is shown that the (suitably normalised) r-th order…
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…
To determine the dimension of null space of any given linearized polynomial is one of vital problems in finite field theory, with concern to design of modern symmetric cryptosystems. But, the known general theory for this task is much far…
Boolean functions on the space $F_{2}^m$ are not only important in the theory of error-correcting codes, but also in cryptography, where they occur in private key systems. In these two cases, the nonlinearity of these function is a main…
In this paper, we investigate permutation rotation-symmetric (shift-invariant) vectorial Boolean functions on $n$ bits that are liftings from Boolean functions on $k$ bits, for $k\leq n$. These functions generalize the well-known map used…
In this paper we give an improvement of the degree of the homogeneous linear recurrence with integer coefficients that exponential sums of symmetric Boolean functions satisfy. This improvement is tight. We also compute the asymptotic…
Monotone Boolean functions are a structurally important class of Boolean functions, but their restricted form imposes strong limitations on achievable nonlinearity. In this paper, we investigate whether evolutionary computation can evolve…
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…
Given a Boolean function f, the (Hamming) weight wt(f) and the nonlinearity N(f) are well known to be important in designing functions that are useful in cryptography. The nonlinearity is expensive to compute, in general, so any shortcuts…
Weighted degrees of quasihomogeneous Hamiltonian functions of the Painlev\'{e} equations are investigated. A tuple of positive integers, called a regular weight, satisfying certain conditions related to singularity theory is classified.…
