摘要
Differential uniformity is a significant concept in cryptography as it quantifies the degree of security of S-boxes with respect to differential attacks. Power functions of the form F(x) = x(d) with low differential uniformity have been extensively studied in the past decades due to their strong resistance to differential attacks and low implementation cost in hardware. In a recent paper, all of us, along with Tu and Jiang gave an affirmative answer to the conjecture about the differential uniformity of F(x) = x(d) over F(2)4n, where n is a positive integer and d = 2(3n) +2(2n) +2(n) - 1, proposed by Budaghyan, Calderini, Carlet, Davidova and Kaleyski (IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 68(5), 3389-3403, 2022). In this paper, we show an alternative proof of the conjecture. Also, we completely determine the differential spectrum of F(x).
