Very recently, a new concept called multiplicative differential (and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity) was introduced by Ellingsen \textit{et al} in [C-differentials, multiplicative uniformity and (almost) perfect…
Only three classes of Almost Perfect Nonlinear (for short, APN) power functions over odd characteristic finite fields have been investigated in the literature, and their differential spectra were determined. The differential uniformity of…
Power functions with low $c$-differential uniformity have been widely studied not only because of their strong resistance to multiplicative differential attacks, but also low implementation cost in hardware. Furthermore, the…
Recently, a new concept called multiplicative differential was introduced by Ellingsen et al. Inspired by this pioneering work, power functions with low c-differential uniformity were constructed. Wang et al. defined the c-differential…
In a prior paper \cite{EFRST20}, two of us, along with P. Ellingsen, P. Felke and A. Tkachenko, 1defined a new (output) multiplicative differential, and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity, which has the potential of extending…
In this paper we define a new (output) multiplicative differential, and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity. With this new concept, even for characteristic $2$, there are perfect $c$-nonlinear (PcN) functions. We first…
In a prior paper [14], along with P. Ellingsen, P. Felke and A. Tkachenko, we defined a new (output) multiplicative differential, and the corresponding c-differential uniformity, which has the potential of extending differential…
Recently, a new concept called multiplicative differential cryptanalysis and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity were introduced by Ellingsen et al.~\cite{Ellingsen2020}, and then some low differential uniformity functions were…
Let $F$ be a function from $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ to itself and $\delta$ a positive integer. $F$ is called zero-difference $\delta$-balanced if the equation $F(x+a)-F(x)=0$ has exactly $\delta$ solutions for all non-zero $a\in\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$.…
Functions with low c-differential uniformity have optimal resistance to some types of differential cryptanalysis. In this paper, we investigate the c-differential uniformity of power functions over finite fields. Based on some known almost…
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…
We give some classes of power maps with low $c$-differential uniformity over finite fields of odd characteristic, {for $c=-1$}. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a linearized polynomial to be a perfect $c$-nonlinear…
The notion of $c$-differential uniformity has recently received a lot of attention since its proposal~\cite{Ellingsen}, and recently a characterization of perfect $c$-nonlinear functions in terms of difference sets in some quasigroups was…
In this paper, we construct some piecewise defined functions, and study their $c$-differential uniformity. As a by-product, we improve upon several prior results. Further, we look at concatenations of functions with low differential…
In this article, we introduce new notions $cc$-differential uniformity, $cc$-differential spectrum, PccN functions and APccN functions, and investigate their properties. We also introduce $c$-CCZ equivalence, $c$-EA equivalence, and…
Recently, a new concept called the $c$-differential uniformity was proposed by Ellingsen et al. (2020), which allows to simplify some types of differential cryptanalysis. Since then, finding functions having low $c$-differential uniformity…
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…
This paper deals with Niho functions which are one of the most important classes of functions thanks to their close connections with a wide variety of objects from mathematics, such as spreads and oval polynomials or from applied areas,…
Functions with low differential uniformity have relevant applications in cryptography. Recently, functions with low $c$-differential uniformity attracted lots of attention. In particular, so-called APcN and PcN functions (generalization of…
Permutation polynomials over finite fields are fundamental objects as they are used in various theoretical and practical applications in cryptography, coding theory, combinatorial design, and related topics. This family of polynomials…
