Construction of balanced \(2^{k}\)-variable rotation symmetric Boolean functions with optimal algebraic immunity
摘要
Rotation symmetric Boolean functions (RSBFs) have received considerable attention for their excellent cryptographic properties and efficient implementation. These functions have been extensively studied in relation to bentness, correlation immunity, and nonlinearity. While numerous constructions exist for balanced odd-variable RSBFs with optimal algebraic immunity, developing balanced even-variable RSBFs with optimal algebraic immunity remains a significant and largely unresolved challenge. In this paper, we present a novel construction of balanced
