Plateaued rotation symmetric boolean functions on odd number of variables

Maximov, Alexander LU ; Hell, Martin LU and Maitra, Subhamoy (2005) First Workshop on Boolean Functions : Cryptography and Applications
Abstract
The class of Rotation Symmetric Boolean Functions (RSBFs) has

received serious

attention in searching functions of cryptographic significance.

These functions are invariant under circular translation of indices.

In this paper we study such functions on odd number of variables and

interesting combinatorial properties related to Walsh spectra of such functions

are revealed. In particular we concentrate on plateaued functions (functions

with three valued Walsh spectra) in this class and derive necessary

conditions for existence of balanced rotation symmetric plateaued functions.

As application of our result we theoretically show the non existence

As application of our result we theoretically show the non existence

of 9-variable, 3-resilient RSBF with nonlinearity 240 that has been posed

as an open question in FSE 2004. Further we show how one can make efficient

search in the space of RSBFs based on our theoretical results and as example

we complete the search for unbalanced 9-variable, 3rd order correlation

immune plateaued RSBFs with nonlinearity 240. (Less)
