Motivated by several recent results, we determine precisely when Fk(Xd, a) − Fk(0, a) is a Dembowski-Ostrom polynomial, where Fk(X, a) is a Dickson polynomial of the first or se...
Abstract. Commutative semifields in odd characteristic can be equivalently described by planar functions (also known as PN functions). We describe a method to construct a semifield...
Abstract. This paper investigates a novel computational problem, namely the Composite Residuosity Class Problem, and its applications to public-key cryptography. We propose a new t...
