Boolean functions are mathematical objects used in diverse domains and have been
actively researched for several decades already. One domain where Boolean functions play …

Boolean functions have numerous applications in domains as diverse as coding theory,
cryptography, and telecommunications. Heuristics play an important role in the construction …

The role of Boolean functions is prominent in several areas including cryptography,
sequences, and coding theory. Therefore, various methods for the construction of Boolean …

Boolean functions are used as nonlinear filter functions and combiner functions in several
stream ciphers. The security of these stream ciphers largely depends upon cryptographic …

This chapter provides a general overview of AI methods used to support the design of
cryptographic primitives and protocols. After giving a brief introduction to the basic concepts …

Finding balanced, highly nonlinear Boolean functions is a difficult problem where it is not
known what nonlinearity values are possible to be reached in general. At the same time …

An interesting thread in the research of Boolean functions for cryptography and coding
theory is the study of secondary constructions: given a known function with a good …

We investigate the design of Orthogonal Latin Squares (OLS) by means of Genetic
Algorithms (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP). Since we focus on Latin squares …

We propose a genetic algorithm (GA) to search for plateaued boolean functions, which
represent suitable candidates for the design of stream ciphers due to their good …

Orthogonal Arrays (OA) represent an interesting breed of combinatorial designs that finds
applications in several domains such as statistics, coding theory, and cryptography. In this …
