Two new classes of bent functions derived from the Maiorana–McFarland ($\\mathcal{M}$) class, so-called $\\mathcal{C}$ and $\\mathcal{D}$, were introduced by Carlet (1993) almost three decades ago. In Zhang (2020) sufficient conditions for specifying …
In this article, we propose two secondary constructions of bent functions without any conditions on initial bent functions employed by these methods. It is shown that both methods generate bent functions that belong to the generalized …
Recently, the construction of bent functions that belong to the so-called $\\mathcal{C}$ class and are provably outside the completed Maiorana-McFarland ($\\mathcal{M}$) class, introduced by Carlet almost three decades ago, has been addressed in …
In 2017, Tang et al. have introduced a generic construction for bent functions of the form $f(x)=g(x)+h(x)$, where $g$ is a bent function satisfying some conditions and $h$ is a Boolean function. Recently, Zheng et al. (Discret Math 344:112473, 2021) …
The autocorrelation properties of Boolean functions are closely related to the Shannon’s concept of diffusion and can be accompanied with other cryptographic criteria (such as high nonlinearity and algebraic degree) for ensuring an overall robustness …
Two new classes of bent functions derived from the Maiorana–McFarland ($\\mathcal{M}$) class, so-called $\\mathcal{C}$ and $\\mathcal{D}$, were introduced by Carlet (1994) two decades ago. The difficulty of satisfying their defining conditions was …
The first and the third authors recently introduced a spectral construction of plateaued and of 5-value spectrum functions. In particular, the design of the latter class requires a specification of integers $\\{W(u)\\colon u \\in {F}_2^n\\}$, where …
