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…
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…
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…
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…
While the classical differential uniformity ($c=1$) is invariant under the CCZ-equivalence, the newly defined \cite{EFRST20} concept of $c$-differential uniformity, in general is not invariant under EA or CCZ-equivalence, as was observed in…
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 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…
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…
In this paper we generalize Dillon's switching method to characterize the exact $c$-differential uniformity of functions constructed via this method. More precisely, we modify some PcN/APcN and other functions with known $c$-differential…
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…
Very recently, a new concept called multiplicative differential and the corresponding $c$-differential uniformity were introduced by Ellingsen et al. A function $F(x)$ over finite field $\mathrm{GF}(p^n)$ to itself is called…
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…
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…
The concept of differential uniformity was recently extended to the $c$-differential uniformity. An interesting problem in this area is the construction of functions with low $c$-differential uniformity and a lot of research has been done…
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…
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…
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…
Drawing inspiration from Nyberg's paper~\cite{Nyb91} on perfect nonlinearity and the $c$-differential notion we defined in~\cite{EFRST20}, in this paper we introduce the concept of $c$-differential bent functions in two different ways (thus…
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…
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…
