The hierarchy of equivalences

Given two vectorial boolean functions <math>f,g : F_2^n \rightarrow F_2^n </math> there are various ways to define equivalence between <math> f </math> and <math>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>f </math> and <math> g </math> we want to determine if there exist Linear permutations <math> A_1</math> and <math>A_2 </math> such that <math> f = A_2 \circ g \circ A_1 </math>.
