The hierarchy of equivalences
Given two vectorial boolean functions [math]\displaystyle{ f,g : F_2^n \rightarrow F_2^n }[/math] there are various ways to define equivalence between [math]\displaystyle{ f }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ g }[/math]. We will study the algorithms for determining Linear, Affine, Extended Affine and CCZ equivalence between vectorial boolean functions.
Linear Equivalence
Given two vectorial boolean functions [math]\displaystyle{ f }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ g }[/math] we want to determine if there exist Linear permutations [math]\displaystyle{ A_1 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ A_2 }[/math] such that [math]\displaystyle{ f = A_2 \circ g \circ A_1 }[/math].
