ePrint Report: Weightwise (almost) perfectly balanced functions based on total orders

Pierrick Méaux

he unique design of the FLIP cipher necessitated a generalization of standard cryptographic criteria for Boolean functions used in stream ciphers, prompting a focus on properties specific to subsets of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ rather than the entire set. This led to heightened interest in properties related to fixed Hamming weight sets and the corresponding partition of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ into n+1 such sets. Consequently, the concept of Weightwise Almost Perfectly Balanced …
