Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) For symmetric cryptosystems,their transformations should be nonlinear to be secure against various attacks.Several nonlinearity criteria have been defined and their properties have been made clear.This report focuses on,among these criteria,the propagation characteristics(PC)and the strict avalanche criteria(SAC),and makes a further investigation of them.It discusses the sets of Boolean functions satisfying the PC of higher degrees,the sets of those satisfying the SAC of higher orders and their relationships.A few properties are made clear which the sets of Boolean functions with odd number of inputs satisfying the PC of higher degrees have while the sets of those with even number of inputs satisfying them not.
