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

In this survey, we revisit the Rothaus paper and the chapter of Dillon's thesis dedicated to
bent functions, and we describe the main results obtained on these functions during these …

This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date description of the methodologies and the
application areas, throughout the range of digital communication, in which individual signals …

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 …

Cryptographic Boolean Functions and Applications, Second Edition is designed to be a
comprehensive reference for the use of Boolean functions in modern cryptography. While …

Jet J qm denote the set of m-tuples over the integers modulo q and set i=− 1, w= ei (2π q). As
an extension of Rothaus' notion of a bent function, a function f, f: J qm→ J q 1 is called bent if …

The subject of this thesis is the study of cryptographic hash functions. The importance of
hash functions for protecting the authenticity of information is demonstrated. Applications …

This is the unique book on cross-fertilisations between stream ciphers and number theory. It
systematically and comprehensively covers known connections between the two areas that …

Spread spectrum and CDMA are cutting-edge technologies widely used in operational
radar, navigation and telecommunication systems and play a pivotal role in the development …

A new class of q-ary sequences, called interleaved sequence, is introduced. Their periods,
shift equivalence, linear spans, and autocorrelation functions are derived. The interleaved …
