It is known that the order of correlation immunity of a nonconstant unbalanced Boolean function in $n$ variables cannot exceed $2n/3-1$; moreover, it is $2n/3-1$ if and only if the function corresponds to an equitable $2$-partition of the $n$-cube with an eigenvalue $-n/3$ of the quotient matrix. The known series of such functions have proportion $1:3$, $3:5$, or $7:9$ of the number of ones and zeros. We prove that if a nonconstant unbalanced Boolean function attains the correlation-immunity bound and has ratio $C:B$ of the number of ones and zeros, then $CB$ is divisible by $3$. In particular, this proves the nonexistence of equitable partitions for an infinite series of putative quotient matrices.  We also establish that there are exactly $2$ equivalence classes of the equitable partitions of the $12$-cube with quotient matrix $[[3,9],[7,5]]$ and $16$ classes, with $[[0,12],[4,8]]$. These parameters correspond to the Boolean functions in $12$ variables with correlation immunity $7$ and proportion $7:9$ and $1:3$, respectively (the case $3:5$ remains unsolved). This also implies the characterization of the orthogonal arrays OA$(1024,12,2,7)$ and  OA$(512,11,2,6)$.

AbstractThe paper is concerned with relations between the correlation-immunity (stability) and the perfectly balancedness of Boolean functions. It is shown that an arbitrary perfectly balanced Boolean function fails to satisfy a certain property that is weaker than the 1-stability. This result refutes some assertions by Markus Dichtl. On the other hand, we present new results on barriers of perfectly balanced Boolean functions which show that any perfectly balanced function such that the sum of the lengths of barriers is smaller than the length of variables, is 1-stable.

Using the derivative of Boolean functions and the e-derivative defined by ourselves as research tools, we discuss the relationship among a variety of cryptographic properties of the weight symmetric H Boolean functions in the range of the weight with the existence of H Boolean functions. We also study algebraic immunity and correlation immunity of the weight symmetric H Boolean functions and the balanced H Boolean functions. We obtain that the weight symmetric H Boolean function should have the same algebraic immunity, correlation immunity, propagation degree and nonlinearity. Besides, we determine that there exist several kinds of H Boolean functions with resilient, algebraic immunity and optimal algebraic immunity. The above results not only provide a theoretical basis for reducing nearly half of workload when studying the cryptographic properties of H Boolean function, but also provide a new research method for the study of secure cryptographic property of Boolean functions. Such researches are important in cryptographic primitive designs.

AbstractA classification of correlation-immune and minimal corelation-immune Boolean function of 4 and 5 variables with respect to the Jevons group is given. Representatives of the equivalence classes of correlationimmune functions of 4 and 5 variables are decomposed into minimal correlation-immune functions. Characteristics of various decompositions of the constant function 1 into minimal correlation-immune functions are presented.

The results provide a theoretical basis to reduce nearly half workload for studying the cryptographic properties of H Boolean function, and provides a new research methods for the study of the properties of cryptographic security of Boolean functions.

Using the derivative of the Boolean function and the e-derivative defined by ourselves as research tools, going deep into the internal structure of Boolean functions, we study relationship of algebraic degree, correlation immunity and annihilators for H Boolean functions with a specific Hamming weight. We obtain the algebraic degree of the e-derivative which is a component of H Boolean functions decide the algebraic degree of H Boolean functions. Besides, we describe the characteristics of the algebraic degree of e-derivative for the correlation immune H Boolean functions. We also check the e-derivative of H Boolean functions can put annihilators, correlation immunity and algebraic degree of H Boolean functions together. Meanwhile, we also deduce a formula method to solving annihilators of H Boolean functions. Such researches are important in cryptographic primitive designs, and have significance and role in the theory and application range of cryptosystems.

A Boolean function is a function $f:\Bbb{Z}_n^2 \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ and we denote the set of all $n$-variable Boolean functions by $BF_n$. For $f\in BF_n$ the vector $[{\rm W}_f(a_0),\ldots,{\rm W}_f(a_{2n-1})]$ is called the Walsh spectrum of $f$, where ${\rm W}_f(a)= \sum_{x\in V} (-1)^{f(x) \oplus ax}$, where $V_n$ is the vector space of dimension $n$ over the two-element field $F_2$. In this paper, we shall consider the Cayley graph $\Gamma_f$ associated with a Boolean function $f$. We shall also find a complete characterization of the bent Boolean functions of order $16$ and determine the spectrum of related Cayley graphs.In addition, we shall enumerate all orbits of the action of automorphism group on the set $BF_n$.

We consider a message passing model with n nodes, each connected to all other nodes by a link that can deliver a message of B bits in a time unit (typically, B = O(log n)). We assume that each node has an input of size L bits (typically, L = O(n log n)) and the nodes cooperate in order to compute some function (i.e., perform a distributed task). We are interested in the number of rounds required to compute the function. We give two results regarding this model. First, we show that most boolean functions require ‸ L/B ‹ − 1 rounds to compute deterministically, and that even if we consider randomized protocols that are allowed to err, the expected running time remains [Formula: see text] for most boolean function. Second, trying to find explicit functions that require superconstant time, we consider the pointer chasing problem. In this problem, each node i is given an array Ai of length n whose entries are in [n], and the task is to find, for any [Formula: see text], the value of [Formula: see text]. We give a deterministic O(log n/ log log n) round protocol for this function using message size B = O(log n), a slight but non-trivial improvement over the O(log n) bound provided by standard “pointer doubling.” The question of an explicit function (or functionality) that requires super constant number of rounds in this setting remains, however, open.
