Boolean functions are essential to systems for secure and reliable communication. This
comprehensive survey of Boolean functions for cryptography and coding covers the whole …

Differential cryptanalysis is a general form of cryptanalysis applicable primarily to block and
stream ciphers and cryptographic hash functions. The discovery of differential cryptanalysis …

The Difference Distribution Table (DDT) and the differential uniformity play a major role for
the design of substitution boxes in block ciphers, since they indicate the function's resistance …

At Eurocrypt 2018, Cid et al. introduced the Boomerang Connectivity Table (BCT), a tool to
compute the probability of the middle round of a boomerang distinguisher from the …

Abstract At Eurocrypt'18, Cid, Huang, Peyrin, Sasaki, and Song introduced a new tool called
Boomerang Connectivity Table (BCT) for measuring the resistance of a block cipher against …

We analyze five newly emerged cryptographic characteristics and a new notion of algebraic
immunity proposed by us of 16 best affine equivalence classes of 4× 4 S-boxes, as well as …

The inverse, the Gold, and the Bracken-Leander functions are crucial for building S-boxes of
block ciphers with good cryptographic properties in symmetric cryptography. These functions …

The boomerang uniformity measures the resistance of block ciphers to boomerang attacks
and has become an essential criterion of the substitution box (S-box). However, the S-box es …

Motivated by recent works on the butterfly structure, particularly by its generalization
introduced by Canteaut et al.(IEEE Trans Inf Theory 63 (11): 7575–7591, 2017), we first …

In Eurocrypt'18, Cid et al. proposed a new cryptanalysis tool called Boomerang Connectivity
Table (BCT), to evaluate S-boxes of block ciphers. Later, Boura and Canteaut further …
