Enumeration of bent Boolean functions by reconfigurable computer
This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, United States Code, Section 101. As such, it is in the public domain, and under the provisions of Title 17, United States Code, Section 105, may not be copyrighted. ; The 18th Annual International IEEE Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines, Charlotte, NC, May 2-4, 2010, pp. 265-272 ; We show that there is a significant benefit to using a reconfigurable computer to enumerate bent Boolean functions for crypographic applications. Bent functions are rare, and the only known way to generate all bent functions is by a sieve technique in which many prospective functions are tested.
