Boolean functions are used as components in the design of many symmetric ciphers (for example S-boxes for block ciphers like AES, or the non-linear component of stream ciphers). These functions have to satisfy certain properties in order to resist known cryptographic attacks. In this project we consider a family of such properties, called PN (Perfect non-linear), APN (almost perfect non-linear) and GAPN (generalised APN). There are some well-known functions with these properties, but recently new methods of constructing such functions have been proposed, involving a combination of theoretical results and computer search. We aim to further develop these methods and obtain new such functions.
