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…

Bent Boolean functions are important objects in cryptography and coding theory, and there are several general approaches for constructing such functions. Metaheuristics proved to be a strong choice as they can provide many bent functions,…

One of the major issues of cryptography is the cryptanalysis of cipher algorithms. Cryptanalysis is the study of methods for obtaining the meaning of encrypted information, without access to the secret information that is normally required.…

Boolean functions are mathematical objects with numerous applications in domains like coding theory, cryptography, and telecommunications. Finding Boolean functions with specific properties is a complex combinatorial optimization problem…

The subject of this textbook is the analysis of Boolean functions. Roughly speaking, this refers to studying Boolean functions $f : \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ via their Fourier expansion and other analytic means. Boolean functions are perhaps…

Metaheuristics have gained great success in academia and practice because their search logic can be applied to any problem with available solution representation, solution quality evaluation, and certain notions of locality. Manually…

Boolean functions with good cryptographic properties like high nonlinearity and algebraic degree play an important in the security of stream and block ciphers. Such functions may be designed, for instance, by algebraic constructions or…

Boolean functions with strong cryptographic properties, such as high nonlinearity and algebraic degree, are important for the security of stream and block ciphers. These functions can be designed using algebraic constructions or…

Boolean functions have important applications in cryptography and coding theory. Two famous classes of binary codes derived from Boolean functions are the Reed-Muller codes and Kerdock codes. In the past two decades, a lot of progress on…

In this paper some cryptographic properties of Boolean functions, including weight, balancedness and nonlinearity, are studied, particularly focusing on splitting functions and cubic Boolean functions. Moreover, we present some quantities…

In this paper we study the complexity of quantum query algorithms computing the value of Boolean function and its relation to the degree of algebraic polynomial representing this function. We pay special attention to Boolean functions with…

The work offers a new approach to the formation of functions which are used in cryptography and cryptanalysis. It will use alternative forms of representation of Boolean functions, that is, those which are different from the classical form,…

In the rapidly evolving optimization and metaheuristics domains, the efficacy of algorithms is crucially determined by the benchmark (test) functions. While several functions have been developed and derived over the past decades, little…

Boolean functions are important building blocks in cryptography for their wide application in both stream and block cipher systems. For cryptanalysis of such systems one tries to find out linear functions that are correlated to the Boolean…

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…

Hash functions are cryptographic tools, which are notably involved in integrity checking and password storage. They are of primary importance to improve the security of exchanges through the Internet. However, as security flaws have been…

The algebraic degree of Boolean functions (or vectorial Boolean functions) is an important cryptographic parameter that should be computed by fast algorithms. They work in two main ways: (1) by computing the algebraic normal form and then…

Here we revisit the quantum algorithms for obtaining Forrelation [Aaronson et al, 2015] values to evaluate some of the well-known cryptographically significant spectra of Boolean functions, namely the Walsh spectrum, the cross-correlation…

A fuzzy Boolean function is a map $f:\cube^n\to [0,1]$, where $n\in\mathbb N$. We introduce and compare three ways of saying that such a function has bounded complexity. The first is a sampling property: the value $f(x)$ can be recovered,…

Metaheuristic algorithms are becoming an important part of modern optimization. A wide range of metaheuristic algorithms have emerged over the last two decades, and many metaheuristics such as particle swarm optimization are becoming…
