New Quadratic Bent Functions in Polynomial Forms with Coefficients in Extension Fields
In this paper, we first discuss the bentness of a large class of quadratic Boolean functions in polynomial form
, where
for and .
The bentness of these functions can be connected with linearized permutation
polynomials. Hence, methods for constructing quadratic bent functions are given. Further, we consider a subclass of quadratic Boolean functions of the form
, where , and is even. The bentness of these functions are characterized and some methods for constructing new quadratic bent functions are given. Finally, for a special case: and
, we present the enumeration of quadratic bent functions
