• CCZ-equivalence of bent vectorial functions and related constructions 

      Budaghyan, Lilya; Carlet, Claude (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-01-06)
      We observe that the CCZ-equivalence of bent vectorial functions over F2nFn2 (n even) reduces to their EA-equivalence. Then we show that in spite of this fact, CCZ-equivalence can be used for constructing bent functions ...
    • Constructing APN functions through isotopic shifts 

      Budaghyan, Lilya; Calderini, Marco; Carlet, Claude; Coulter, Robert; Villa, Irene (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions over fields of characteristic 2 play an important role in cryptography, coding theory and, more generally, mathematics and information theory. In this paper we deduce a new method ...
    • On Isotopic Shift Construction for Planar Functions 

      Budaghyan, Lilya; Calderini, Marco; Carlet, Claude; Coulter, Robert; Villa, Irene (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      CCZ-equivalence is the most general currently known equivalence relation for functions over finite fields preserving planarity and APN properties. However, for the particular case of quadratic planar functions isotopic ...
    • 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 ...
