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

Cryptographic Boolean Functions and Applications, Second Edition is designed to be a
comprehensive reference for the use of Boolean functions in modern cryptography. While …

This chapter deals with multi-output Boolean functions viewed from a cryptographic
viewpoint, that is, functions from the vector space Fn2, of all binary vectors of length n, to the …

We present an extensive study of symmetric Boolean functions, especially of their
cryptographic properties. Our main result establishes the link between the periodicity of the …

A fundamental objective of cryptography is to enable two persons to communicate over an
insecure channel (a public channel such as the internet) in such a way that any other person …

Nonlinear Boolean functions are necessary building blocks in cryptography; they often play
a key role in the design of many stream ciphers and block ciphers. In the design of stream …

The nonlinearity profile of a Boolean function (ie, the sequence of its minimum Hamming
distances nl r (f) to all functions of degrees at most r, for r ges 1) is a cryptographic criterion …

Recently, algebraic attacks have received a lot of attention in the cryptographic literature. It
has been observed that a Boolean function f used as a cryptographic primitive, and …

The focus of this paper is on nonlinear characteristics of cryptographic Boolean functions.
First, we introduce the notion of plateaued functions that have many cryptographically …
