Books on Boolean Functions

	Boolean Functions for Cryptography and Coding Theory
	Claude Carlet
	Boolean functions are essential to systems for secure and reliable communication. This comprehensive survey of Boolean functions for cryptography and coding covers the whole domain and all important results, building on the author's influential articles with additional topics and recent results. A useful resource for researchers and graduate students, the book balances detailed discussions of properties and parameters with examples of various types of cryptographic attacks that motivate the consideration of these parameters. It provides all the necessary background on mathematics, cryptography, and coding, and an overview on recent applications, such as side channel attacks on smart cards, cloud computing through fully homomorphic encryption, and local pseudo-random generators. The result is a complete and accessible text on the state of the art in single and multiple output Boolean functions that illustrates the interaction between mathematics, computer science, and telecommunications.

	Construction and Analysis of Cryptographic Functions
	Lilya Budaghyan
	This book covers novel research on construction and analysis of optimal cryptographic functions such as almost perfect nonlinear (APN), almost bent (AB), planar and bent functions. These functions have optimal resistance to linear and/or differential attacks, which are the two most powerful attacks on symmetric cryptosystems. Besides cryptographic applications, these functions are significant in many branches of mathematics and information theory including coding theory, combinatorics, commutative algebra, finite geometry, sequence design and quantum information theory. The author analyzes equivalence relations for these functions and develops several new methods for construction of their infinite families. In addition, the book offers solutions to two longstanding open problems, including the problem on characterization of APN and AB functions via Boolean, and the problem on the relation between two classes of bent functions.

	Boolean Functions for Cryptography and Error Correcting Codes
	Claude Carlet (chapter in "Boolean Models and Methods in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Engineering")
	A comprehensive survey on the subject of Boolean functions and their applications to cryptography.

	Vectorial Boolean Functions for Cryptography
	Claude Carlet (chapter in "Boolean Models and Methods in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Engineering")
	A comprehensive survey on the subject of vectorial Boolean functions and their applications to cryptography.

	Bent Functions: Fundamentals and Results
	Sihem Mesnager
	This book gives a detailed survey of the main results on bent functions over finite fields, presents a systematic overview of their generalizations, variations and applications, considers open problems in classification and systematization of bent functions, and discusses proofs of several results. This book uniquely provides a necessary comprehensive coverage of bent functions.It serves as a useful reference for researchers in discrete mathematics, coding and cryptography. Students and professors in mathematics and computer science will also find the content valuable, especially those interested in mathematical foundations of cryptography. It can be used as a supplementary text for university courses on discrete mathematics, Boolean functions, or cryptography, and is appropriate for both basic classes for under-graduate students and advanced courses for specialists in cryptography and mathematics.

	Introduction to Finite Fields and their Applications
	Rudolf Lidl & Harald Niederreiter
	A standard textbook on the theory of finite fields and other elementary topics.

	Handbook of Finite Fields
	Gary L. Mullen & Daniel Panario
	A comprehensive survey on results in the area of finite fields.

	Bent functions: results and applications to cryptography
	Natalia Tokareva
	Bent Functions: Results and Applications to Cryptography offers a unique survey of the objects of discrete mathematics known as Boolean bent functions. As these maximal, nonlinear Boolean functions and their generalizations have many theoretical and practical applications in combinatorics, coding theory, and cryptography, the text provides a detailed survey of their main results, presenting a systematic overview of their generalizations and applications, and considering open problems in classification and systematization of bent functions. The text is appropriate for novices and advanced researchers, discussing proofs of several results, including the automorphism group of bent functions, the lower bound for the number of bent functions, and more.
