We present a new characterization of semi-bent and bent quadratic functions on finite fields. First, we determine when a GF(2)-linear combination of Gold functions Tr(x2i +1 ) is ...
We present a quantum algorithm for the computation of the irrational period lattice of a function on Zn which is periodic in a relaxed sense. This algorithm is applied to compute t...
—Let F2 denote the binary field and F 2 m an algebraic extension of degree m > 1 over F2 . Traditionally, elements of F 2 m are either represented as powers of a primitive ele...
Abstract. We present a Fourier-analytic approach to list-decoding Reed-Muller codes over arbitrary finite fields. We use this to show that quadratic forms over any field are locall...
An important component of the index calculus methods for finding discrete logarithms is the acquisition of smooth polynomial relations. Gordon and McCurley (1992) developed a sieve...
