Generalized Isotopic Shift Construction for APN Functions

Lilya Budaghyan, Marco Calderini, Claude Carlet, Robert Coulter, and Irene Villa

Abstract

In this work we give several generalizations of the isotopic shift construction, introduced recently by Budaghyan et al. (2018), when the starting function is a Gold function. In particular, we derive a general construction of APN functions which covers several unclassified APN functions for $n=8$ and produces fifteen new APN functions for $n=9$.
