Boolean functions play a central role in cryptographic algorithms since the security and efficiency of the algorithms are mainly determined by the cryptographic properties and the algebraic structure of the involved Boolean functions. Rotation symmetric Boolean function, used as a nonlinear component in cryptographic algorithms, can promote their security and efficiency simultaneously as they can reduce the memory needed for describing the function. This project focuses on constructing cryptographically important rotation symmetric Boolean functions and analyzing their cryptographic properties, such as: constructions of rotation symmetric bent functions, constructions of idempotent bent functions (rotation symmetric bent functions defined over finite field), and the asymptotic balancedness of symmetric Boolean functions with fixed algebraic degree. Through the research of this project, we can not only evaluate the cryptographic significance of rotation symmetric Boolean functions but also provide many nonlinear functions to cryptographic algorithms with better security and efficiency. ..
