Title:
A note on constructions of bent functions from involutions

Authors: Sihem Mesnager

Abstract:

Bent functions are maximally nonlinear Boolean functions. They are important functions introduced by Rothaus and studied rstly by Dillon and next by many researchers for four decades. Since the complete classication of bent functions seems elusive, many researchers turn to design constructions of bent functions. In this note, we show that linear involutions (which are an important class of permutations) over nite elds give rise to bent functions in bivariate representations. In particular, we exhibit new constructions of bent functions involving binomial linear involutions whose dual functions are directly obtained without computation.
