Two classes of LCD codes derived from $(\mathcal{L},\mathcal{P})$-TGRS codes

Twisted generalized Reed-Solomon (TGRS) codes, as a flexible extension of classical generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes, have attracted significant attention in recent years. In this paper, we construct two classes of LCD codes from the $(\mathcal{L},\mathcal{P})$-TGRS code $\mathcal{C}_h$ of length $n$ and dimension $k$, where $\mathcal{L}=\{0,1,\ldots,l\}$ for $l\leq n-k-1$ and $\mathcal{P}=\{h\}$ for $1\leq h\leq k-1$. First, we derive the parity check matrix of $\mathcal{C}_h$ and provide a necessary and sufficient condition for $\mathcal{C}_h$ to be an AMDS code. Then, we construct two classes of LCD codes from $\mathcal{C}_h$ by suitably choosing the evaluation points together with certain restrictions on the coefficient of $x^{h-1}$ in the polynomial associated with the twisting term. From the constructed LCD codes we further obtain two classes of LCD MDS codes. Finally, several examples are presented.

On the second-order zero differential properties of several classes of power functions over finite fields

Feistel Boomerang Connectivity Table (FBCT) is an important cryptanalytic technique on analysing the resistance of the Feistel network-based ciphers to power attacks such as differential and boomerang attacks. Moreover, the coefficients of FBCT are closely related to the second-order zero differential spectra of the function $F(x)$ over the finite fields with even characteristic and the Feistel boomerang uniformity is the second-order zero differential uniformity of $F(x)$. In this paper, by computing the number of solutions of specific equations over finite fields, we determine explicitly the second-order zero differential spectra of power functions $x^{2^m+3}$ and $x^{2^m+5}$ with $m>2$ being a positive integer over finite field with even characteristic, and $x^{p^k+1}$ with integer $k\geq1$ over finite field with odd characteristic $p$. It is worth noting that $x^{2^m+3}$ is a permutation over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ and only when $m$ is odd, $x^{2^m+5}$ is a permutation over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$, where integer $n=2m$. As a byproduct, we find $F(x)=x^4$ is a PN and second-order zero differentially $0$-uniform function over $\mathbb{F}_{3^n}$ with odd $n$. The computation of these entries and the cardinalities in each table aimed to facilitate the analysis of differential and boomerang cryptanalysis of S-boxes when studying distinguishers and trails.

The c-differential properties of a class of power functions

Power functions with low $c$-differential uniformity have been widely studied not only because of their strong resistance to multiplicative differential attacks, but also low implementation cost in hardware. Furthermore, the $c$-differential spectrum of a function gives a more precise characterization of its $c$-differential properties. Let $f(x)=x^{\frac{p^n+3}{2}}$ be a power function over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p^{n}}$, where $p\neq3$ is an odd prime and $n$ is a positive integer. In this paper, for all primes $p\neq3$, by investigating certain character sums with regard to elliptic curves and computing the number of solutions of a system of equations over $\mathbb{F}_{p^{n}}$, we determine explicitly the $(-1)$-differential spectrum of $f$ with a unified approach. We show that if $p^n \equiv 3 \pmod 4$, then $f$ is a differentially $(-1,3)$-uniform function except for $p^n\in\{7,19,23\}$ where $f$ is an APcN function, and if $p^n \equiv 1 \pmod 4$, the $(-1)$-differential uniformity of $f$ is equal to $4$. In addition, an upper bound of the $c$-differential uniformity of $f$ is also given.
