We study a class of general quadrinomials over the field of size $2^{2m}$ with odd $m$ and characterize conditions under which they are permutations with the best boomerang uniformity, a new and important parameter related to…

In this paper, we present infinite families of permutations of $\mathbb{F}_{2^{2n}}$ with high nonlinearity and boomerang uniformity $4$ from generalized butterfly structures. Both open and closed butterfly structures are considered. It…

At Eurocrypt'18, Cid, Huang, Peyrin, Sasaki, and Song introduced a new tool called Boomerang Connectivity Table (BCT) for measuring the resistance of a block cipher against the boomerang attack (which is an important cryptanalysis technique…

In EUROCRYPT 2018, Cid et al. \cite{BCT2018} introduced a new concept on the cryptographic property of S-boxes: Boomerang Connectivity Table (BCT for short) for evaluating the subtleties of boomerang-style attacks. Very recently, BCT and…

This paper makes the first bridge between the classical differential/boomerang uniformity and the newly introduced $c$-differential uniformity. We show that the boomerang uniformity of an odd APN function is given by the maximum of the…

Recently, a new structure called butterfly introduced by Perrin et at. is attractive for that it has very good cryptographic properties: the differential uniformity is at most equal to 4 and algebraic degree is also very high when exponent…

Finding permutation polynomials with low differential and boomerang uniformityis an important topic in S-box designs of many block ciphers. For example, AES chooses the inverse function as its S-box, which is differentially 4-uniform and…

Finding functions, particularly permutations, with good differential properties has received a lot of attention due to their varied applications. For instance, in combinatorial design theory, a correspondence of perfect $c$-nonlinear…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. In this paper we prove that the $c$-Boomerang Uniformity, $c \neq 0$, for all permutation monomials $x^d$, where $d > 1$ and $p \nmid d$, is bounded by $d^2$. Further, we utilize…

We consider the boomerang uniformity of an infinite class of (locally-APN) power maps and show that its boomerang uniformity over the finite field $\F_{2^n}$ is $2$ and $4$, when $n \equiv 0 \pmod 4$ and $n \equiv 2 \pmod 4$, respectively.…

A substitution box (S-box) in a symmetric primitive is a mapping $F$ that takes $k$ binary inputs and whose image is a binary $m$-tuple for some positive integers $k$ and $m$, which is usually the only nonlinear element of the most modern…

Permutations over $F_{2^{2k}}$ with low differential uniform, high algebraic degree and high nonlinearity are of great cryptographical importance since they can be chosen as the substitution boxes (S-boxes) for many block ciphers. A well…

Block ciphers use S-boxes to create confusion in the cryptosystems. Such S-boxes are functions over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{n}}$. These functions should have low differential uniformity, high nonlinearity, and high algebraic degree in order to…

A general theory of permutation orbifolds is developed for arbitrary twist groups. Explicit expressions for the number of primaries, the partition function, the genus one characters, the matrix elements of modular transformations and for…

We defined in~\cite{EFRST20} a new multiplicative $c$-differential, and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity and we characterized the known perfect nonlinear functions with respect to this new concept, as well as the inverse in any…

Parker and L\^e introduced random butterfly transforms (RBTs) as a preprocessing technique to replace pivoting in dense LU factorization. Unfortunately, their FFT-like recursive structure restricts the dimensions of the matrix. Furthermore,…

Feistel Boomerang Connectivity Table (FBCT) is an important cryptanalytic technique on analysing the resistance of the Feistel network-based ciphers to power attacks such as differential and boomerang attacks. Moreover, the coefficients of…

In this paper, we present several new constructions of differentially 4-uniform permutations over $\F_{2^{2m}}$ by modifying the values of the inverse function on some subsets of $\F_{2^{2m}}$. The resulted differentially 4-uniform…

In this paper, we investigate the differential and boomerang properties of a class of binomial $F_{r,u}(x) = x^r(1 + u\chi(x))$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$, where $r = \frac{p^n+1}{4}$, $p^n \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$, and $\chi(x) =…

In this paper we develop a bubble tree structure for a degenerating class of Riemannian metrics satisfying some global conformal bounds on compact manifolds of dimension 4. Applying the bubble tree structure, we establish a gap theorem, a…
