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

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 …

Substitution boxes (S-boxes) are important components in many modern-day symmetric key
ciphers. Their study has attracted a great deal of attention over many years. The emergence …

For the first time Boolean functions on 9 variables having nonlinearity 241 are discovered,
that remained as an open question in literature for almost three decades. Such functions are …

In several combinatorial optimization problems arising in cryptography and design theory,
the admissible solutions must often satisfy a balancedness constraint, such as being …

The Boolean functions satisfying secure properties on the restricted sets of inputs are
studied recently due to their importance in the framework of the FLIP stream cipher …

Boolean functions represent an important primitive in the design of various cryptographic
algorithms. There exist several well-known schemes where a Boolean function is used to …

Recent advances are reported in the use of heuristic optimisation for the design of
cryptographic mappings. The genetic algorithm (GA) is adapted for the design of regular …

Boolean functions have numerous applications in domains as diverse as coding theory,
cryptography, and telecommunications. Heuristics play an important role in the construction …

Boolean functions are mathematical objects used in diverse domains and have been
actively researched for several decades already. One domain where Boolean functions play …
