Linear codes from vectorial Boolean functions in the context of algebraic attacks
Résumé
In this paper, we study the relationship between vectorial (Boolean) functions and cyclic codes in the context of algebraic attacks. We first derive a direct link between the annihilators of a vectorial function (in univariate form) and certain [Formula: see text]-ary cyclic codes (which we show that they are LCD codes). We also present some properties of those cyclic codes as well as their weight enumerator. In addition, we generalize the so-called algebraic complement and study its properties.
