Low c-Differential Uniformity of the Swapped Inverse Function in Odd Characteristic

Jaeseong Jeong, Namhun Koo, Soonhak Kwon

Abstract

The study of Boolean functions with low $c$-differential uniformity has become recently an important topic of research. However, in odd characteristic case, there are not many results on the ($c$-)differential uniformity of functions that are not power functions. In this paper, we investigate the $c$-differential uniformity of the swapped inverse functions in odd characteristic, and show that their $c$-differential uniformities are at most 6 except for some special case.

Low c-Differential Uniformity of the Swapped Inverse Function in Odd Characteristic

Abstract

The study of Boolean functions with low -differential uniformity has become recently an important topic of research. However, in odd characteristic case, there are not many results on the (-)differential uniformity of functions that are not power functions. In this paper, we investigate the -differential uniformity of the swapped inverse functions in odd characteristic, and show that their -differential uniformities are at most 6 except for some special case.

Key Result

Proposition 1.2

We call an affine permutation of the form $A(x)=a_1x+a_0$ where $a_0\in \mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ and $a_1\in\mathbb{F}_{p^n}^*$ an affine permutation of degree one. We call two functions $F$ and $F'$ are affine equivalent of degree one if $F=A_1 \circ F' \circ A_2$ where $A_1$ and $A_2$ are affine permutat
