Results on Constructions of Rotation Symmetric Bent and Semi-bent Functions

چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a class of cubic rotation symmetric (RotS) functions and prove that it can yield bent and semi-bent functions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second primary construction of an infinite class of nonquadratic RotS bent functions which could be found and the first class of nonquadratic RotS semi-bent functions. We also study a class of idempotents (giving RotS functions through the choice of a normal basis of GF (2) over GF (2)). We derive a characterization of the bent functions among these idempotents and we relate their precise determination to a problem studied in the framework of APN functions. Incidentally, the proofs of bentness given here are useful for a paper studying a construction of idempotents from RotS functions, entitled “A secondary construction and a transformation on rotation symmetric functions, and their action on bent and semi-bent functions” by the same authors, to appear in the journal JCT series A.

On the Systematic Constructions of Rotation Symmetric Bent Functions with Any Possible Algebraic Degrees
In the literature, few constructions of n-variable rotation symmetric bent functions have been presented, which either have restriction on n or have algebraic degree no more than 4. In this paper, for any even integer n = 2m ≥ 2, a first systemic construction of n-variable rotation symmetric bent functions, with any possible algebraic degrees ranging from 2 to m, is proposed.
متن کاملBent and Semi-bent Functions via Linear Translators
The paper is dealing with two important subclasses of plateaued functions: bent and semi-bent functions. In the first part of the paper, we construct mainly bent and semi-bent functions in the Maiorana-McFarland class using Boolean functions having linear structures (linear translators) systematically. Although most of these results are rather direct applications of some recent results, using l...
متن کاملOn the conjecture about the nonexistence of rotation symmetric bent functions
In this paper, we describe a different approach to the proof of the nonexistence of homogeneous rotation symmetric bent functions. As a result, we obtain some new results which support the conjecture made in this journal, i.e., there are no homogeneous rotation symmetric bent functions of degree > 2. Also we characterize homogeneous degree 2 rotation symmetric bent functions by using GCD of pol...
متن کاملResults on rotation symmetric bent functions
In this paper we analyze the combinatorial properties related to the Walsh spectra of rotation symmetric Boolean functions on even number of variables. These results are then applied in studying rotation symmetric bent functions.
متن کاملConstructing bent functions and bent idempotents of any possible algebraic degrees
Bent functions as optimal combinatorial objects are difficult to characterize and construct. In the literature, bent idempotents are a special class of bent functions and few constructions have been presented, which are restricted by the degree of finite fields and have algebraic degree no more than 4. In this paper, several new infinite families of bent functions are obtained by adding the the...
