We study a family of particular cosets of the first-order Reed-Muller code R(1,m): those generated by special codewords, the idempotents. Thus we obtain new maximal weight distributions of cosets of R(1,7) and 84 distinct almost maximal weight distributions of cosets of R(1,9), that is, with minimum weight 240. This leads to crypotographic applications in the context of stream ciphers.

On the weight distributions of optimal cosets of the first-order Reed-Muller codes
TLDR
It is shown that there are exactly five weight distributions for optimal cosets of R(1,7) in R(5,7), and that these distributions are related to the degree of the function generating the coset.
On cryptographic properties of the cosets of R(1, m)
TLDR
A new approach for the study of weight distributions of cosets of the Reed-Muller code of order 1 is introduced, based on the method introduced by Kasami (1968), using Pless (1963) identities, and it is able to distinguish such cosets which have three weights only.
On Cryptographic Properties of the Cosets of
TLDR
A new approach for the study of weight distributions of cosets of the Reed-Muller code of order is introduced, based on the method introduced by Kasami in (1), using Pless identities to obtain a condition for a coset to have a "high" minimum weight.
Nonlinearity of Some Invariant Boolean Functions
TLDR
This paper mainly study boolean functions invariant under the action of some finite groups, following the idea of Patterson and Wiedemann, and presents some new results on this subject.
On the Super Codes of the First Order Reed-Muller Code Based on m-Sequence Pairs
TLDR
A systematic algorithm is proposed for the super codes construction base on the m-sequence pairs, which only involves some item permutation within them-sequence, which outperform the conventional codes in terms of decoding error rate.
Various Cryptographic and Algebraic Generalizations of Bent Functions
TLDR
Since bent functions can never be balanced, research on super-classes of the class of bent functions, whose elements can have high nonlinearities, but can also be balanced has been investigated.
Construction of RSBFs with improved cryptographic properties to resist differential fault attack on grain family of stream ciphers
TLDR
A construction scheme for rotation symmetric Boolean functions (RSBFs) h(x) along with an orbit-tuple flip based iterative hill-climbing based construction algorithm for balanced RSBFs with high nonlinearity, low absolute indicator value of global avalanche characteristics (GAC), and high algebraic degree is proposed.

TLDR
Preand post-quantum Diffie– Hellman schemes resemble each other at the highest level, but the further down you dive, the more differences emerge—differences that are critical when the authors use Diffie-Hellman as a basic component in more complicated constructions.
Generic Construction of Bent Functions and Bent Idempotents With Any Possible Algebraic Degrees
TLDR
A generic construction of bent functions from known ones is presented, which produces new bent functions, which cannot be produced by earlier ones, and an infinite family of anti-self-dual bent functions is obtained, which solves an open problem recently proposed by Mesnager.
On the Influence of the Filtering Function on the Performance of Fast Correlation Attacks on Filter Generators
This paper presents a generalization of the fast correlation attack presented by Chepyshov, Johansson and Smeets at FSE 2000, for the particular case of filter generators. By considering not only the…

If C is a code, an orphan is a coset that is not a descendant. Orphans arise naturally in the investigation of the covering radius. Case C has only even-weight vectors and minimum distance of at…

TLDR
A new class of bent functions on (GF(2)n ( n even) is introduced and it is proved that this class is not included in one of the known classes of bent function, and that, when n equals 6, it covers the whole set ofbent functions of degree 3.
