• Binary Linear Codes With Few Weights From Two-to-One Functions 

      Li, Kangquan; Li, Chunlei; Helleseth, Tor; Qu, Longjiang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      In this paper, we apply two-to-one functions over b F 2n in two generic constructions of binary linear codes. We consider two-to-one functions in two forms: (1) generalized quadratic functions; and (2) (x 2t +x) e with ...
    • The Connections Among Hamming Metric, b-Symbol Metric, and r-th Generalized Hamming Metric 

      Shi, Minjia; Zhu, Hongwei; Helleseth, Tor (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The r -th generalized Hamming metric and the b -symbol metric are two different generalizations of Hamming metric. The former is used on the wire-tap channel of Type II, and the latter is motivated by the limitations of ...
    • Covering Radius of Generalized Zetterberg Type Codes Over Finite Fields of Odd Characteristic 

      Shi, Minjia; Helleseth, Tor; Özbudak, Ferruh (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Let Fq0 be a finite field of odd characteristic. For an integer s≥1 , let Cs(q0) be the generalized Zetterberg code of length qs0+1 over Fq0 . If s is even, then we prove that the covering radius of Cs(q0) is 3. Put q=qs0 ...
    • Cryptographically strong permutations from the butterfly structure 

      Li, Kangquan; Li, Chunlei; Helleseth, Tor; Qu, Longjiang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Boomerang connectivity table is a new tool to characterize the vulnerability of cryptographic functions against boomerang attacks. Consequently, a cryptographic function is desired to have boomerang uniformity as low as ...
    • The differential spectrum of a ternary power mapping 

      Xia, Yongbo; Zhang, Xianglai; Li, Chunlei; Helleseth, Tor (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      A function f(x)from the finite field GF(pn)to itself is said to be differentially δ-uniform when the maximum number of solutions x ∈GF(pn)of f(x +a) −f(x) =bfor any a ∈GF(pn)∗and b ∈GF(pn)is equal to δ. Let p =3and d =3n−3. ...

      Yan, Haode; Xia, Yongbo; Li, Chunlei; Helleseth, Tor; Xiong, Maosheng; Luo, Jinquan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Let n be a positive integer and p a prime. The power mapping xpn−3 over Fpn has desirable differential properties, and its differential spectra for p=2,3 have been determined. In this paper, for any odd prime p , by ...
    • Five-weight codes from three-valued correlation of M-sequences 

      Shi, Minjia; Qian, Liqin; Helleseth, Tor; Sole, Patrick (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      In this paper, for each of six families of three-valued m-sequence correlation, we construct an infinite family of five-weight codes from trace codes over the ring R = F2 + uF2, where u2 = 0. The trace codes have the ...
    • Further investigations on permutation based constructions of bent functions 

      Li, Kangquan; Li, Chunlei; Helleseth, Tor; Qu, Longjiang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Constructing bent functions by composing a Boolean function with a permutation was introduced by Hou and Langevin in 1997. The approach appears simple but heavily depends on the construction of desirable permutations. In ...
    • A New Family of APN Quadrinomials 

      Budaghyan, Lilya; Helleseth, Tor; Kaleyski, Nikolay Stoyanov (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The binomial B(x) = x 3 +βx 36 (where β is primitive in F 2 2) over F 2 10 is the first known example of an Almost Perfect Nonlinear (APN) function that is not CCZ-equivalent to a power function, and has remained unclassified ...
    • New Results on the -1 Conjecture on Cross-Correlation of m-Sequences Based on Complete Permutation Polynomials 

      Wu, GaoFei; Feng, Keqin; Li, Nian; Helleseth, Tor (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The cross-correlation between two maximum length sequences (m-sequences) of the same period has been studied since the end of 1960s. One open conjecture by Helleseth states that the cross- correlation between any two p-ary ...
    • On the Distance Between APN Functions 

      Budaghyan, Lilya; Carlet, Claude; Helleseth, Tor; Kaleyski, Nikolay Stoyanov (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We investigate the differential properties of a vectorial Boolean function G obtained by modifying an APN function F . This generalizes previous constructions where a function is modified at a few points. We characterize ...

      Davidova, Diana; Budaghyan, Lilya; Carlet, Claude Michael; Helleseth, Tor; Ihringer, Ferdinand; Penttila, Tim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Boolean functions, and bent functions in particular, are considered up to so-called EA-equivalence, which is the most general known equivalence relation preserving bentness of functions. However, for a special type of bent ...
