The square map is one of the functions that is used in cryptography. For instance, the square map is used in Rabin encryption scheme, block cipher RC6 and stream cipher Rabbit, in different forms. In this paper we study a special case of the square map, namely the square function modulo a power of two. We obtain probability distribution of the output of this map as a vectorial Boolean function....
