Vectorial Boolean functions are used as S-boxes in cryptosystems. To design inequivalent vectorial Boolean functions resistant to known attacks is one of the challenges in cryptography. Verifying whether two vectorial Boolean functions are equivalent or not is the final step in this challenge. Hence, finding a fast technique for determining whether two given vectorial Boolean functions are equivalent is an important problem. A special class of the equivalence called restricted extended affine (REA) equivalence is studied in this thesis. We study the verification complexity of REA-equivalence of two vectorial Boolean functions for some types, namely types I to VI. We first review the verification of the REA-equivalence types I to IV given in the recent work of Budaghyan and Kazymyrov (2012). Furthermore, we present the complexities of the verification of REA-equivalence types I and IV in the case basic simultaneous Gaussian elimination method is used. Next, we present two new REA-equivalence types V and VI with their complexities. Finally, we give the algorithms of each type I to VI with their MAGMA codes.

Özbudak, Ferruh; Yayla, Oğuz (2015-02-01)
Vectorial Boolean functions are used as substitution boxes in cryptosystems. Designing inequivalent functions resistant to known attacks is one of the challenges in cryptography. In doing this, finding a fast technique for determining whether two given functions are equivalent is a significant problem. A special class of the equivalence called restricted extended affine (REA) equivalence is studied in this paper. We update the verification procedures of the REA-equivalence types given in the recent work of ...

Divisibility properties on boolean functions using the numerical normal form
Göloğlu, Faruk; Yücel, Melek D; Department of Cryptography (2004)
A Boolean function can be represented in several different forms. These different representation have advantages and disadvantages of their own. The Algebraic Normal Form, truth table, and Walsh spectrum representations are widely studied in literature. In 1999, Claude Carlet and Phillippe Guillot introduced the Numerical Normal Form. NumericalNormal Form(NNF) of a Boolean function is similar to Algebraic Normal Form, with integer coefficients instead of coefficients from the two element field. Using NNF re...
On higher order approximations for hermite-gaussian functions and discrete fractional Fourier transforms
Candan, Çağatay (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-10-01)
Discrete equivalents of Hermite-Gaussian functions play a critical role in the definition of a discrete fractional Fourier transform. The discrete equivalents are typically calculated through the eigendecomposition of a commutator matrix. In this letter, we first characterize the space of DFT-commuting matrices and then construct matrices approximating the Hermite-Gaussian generating differential equation and use the matrices to accurately generate the discrete equivalents of Hermite-Gaussians.
On construction of recursion operators from Lax representation
Gurses, M; Karasu, Atalay; Sokolov, VV (1999-12-01)
In this work we develop a general procedure for constructing the recursion operators for nonlinear integrable equations admitting Lax representation. Several new examples are given. In particular, we find the recursion operators for some KdV-type systems of integrable equations. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0022-2488(99)03212-0].
