Investigations on c-Boomerang Uniformity and Perfect Nonlinearity
Abstract
We defined in~EFRST20 a new multiplicative c-differential, and the corresponding c-differential uniformity and we characterized the known perfect nonlinear functions with respect to this new concept, as well as the inverse in any characteristic. The work was continued in~RS20, investigating the c-differential uniformity for some further APN functions. Here, we extend the concept to the boomerang uniformity, introduced at Eurocrypt '18 by Cid et al.~Cid18, to evaluate S-boxes of block ciphers, and investigate it in the context of perfect nonlinearity and related functions.
