Analysis of boolean functions with high second order nonlinearity

چکیده
Highly nonlinear Boolean functions play a central role in the design and security analysis of high speed stream cyphers and block cyphers. We focus on analyzing the structure of Boolean functions that exhibit high second order nonlinearity. We commence with a theoretical overview of Boolean functions and ReedMuller codes. We then introduce a new equivalence relation, 2-equivalence, for which we prove a number of important properties. Finally, we analyze the second order nonlinearity of concatenations of two Boolean functions.

Maiorana-McFarland Functions with High Second-Order Nonlinearity
The second–order nonlinearity, and the best quadratic approximations, of Boolean functions are studied in this paper. We prove that cubic functions within the Maiorana–McFarland class achieve very high second order nonlinearity, which is close to an upper bound that was recently proved by Carlet et al., and much higher than the second order nonlinearity obtained by other known constructions. Th...
متن کاملThe Lower Bounds on the Second Order Nonlinearity of Cubic Boolean Functions
It is a difficult task to compute the r-th order nonlinearity of a given function with algebraic degree strictly greater than r > 1. Even the lower bounds on the second order nonlinearity is known only for a few particular functions. We investigate the lower bounds on the second order nonlinearity of cubic Boolean functions Fu(x) = Tr( Pm l=1 μlx l), where ul ∈ F ∗ 2n , dl = 2l + 2l + 1, il and...
متن کاملOn the lower bounds of the second order nonlinearities of some Boolean functions
The r-th order nonlinearity of a Boolean function is an important cryptographic criterion in analyzing the security of stream as well as block ciphers. It is also important in coding theory as it is related to the covering radius of the Reed-Muller code R(r, n). In this paper we deduce the lower bounds of the second order nonlinearity of the following two types of Boolean functions: 1. fλ(x) = ...
متن کاملOn an Improved Correlation Analysis of Stream Ciphers Using Muti-Output Boolean Functions and the Related Generalized Notion of Nonlinearity
We investigate the security of n-bit to m-bit vectorial Boolean functions in stream ciphers. Such stream ciphers have higher throughput than those using single-bit output Boolean functions. However, as shown by Zhang and Chan at Crypto 2000, linear approximations based on composing the vector output with any Boolean functions have higher bias than those based on the usual correlation attack. In...
