Abstract. Highly nonlinear Boolean functions occupy an important position in the design of secure block as well as stream ciphers. This paper proves two new lower bounds on the non...
We investigate the link between the nonlinearity of a Boolean function and its propagation characteristics. We prove that highly nonlinear functions usually have good propagation p...

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 f...

In this paper we study the minimum distance between the set of bent functions and the set of 1-resilient Boolean functions and present a lower bound on that. The bound is proved to...
