Systematic Constructions of Bent-Negabent Functions, 2-Rotation Symmetric Bent-Negabent Functions and Their Duals
Bent-negabent functions have many important properties for their application
in cryptography since they have the flat absolute spectrum under the both
Walsh-Hadamard transform and nega-Hadamard transform. In this paper, we present
four new systematic constructions of bent-negabent functions on
and variables, respectively, by modifying the truth tables of two
classes of quadratic bent-negabent functions with simple form. The algebraic
normal forms and duals of these constructed functions are also determined. We
further identify necessary and sufficient conditions for those bent-negabent
functions which have the maximum algebraic degree. At last, by modifying the
truth tables of a class of quadratic 2-rotation symmetric bent-negabent
functions, we present a construction of 2-rotation symmetric bent-negabent
functions with any possible algebraic degrees. Considering that there are
probably no bent-negabent functions in the rotation symmetric class, it is the
first significant attempt to construct bent-negabent functions in the
generalized rotation symmetric class
