Abstract
The construction of modern cryptographic systems relies on the so-called resilient Boolean functions, a special class of Boolean functions that possesses a balance between a high level of nonlinearity and correlation immunity. In this paper, we discuss the problem of the compact representation and efficient construction of resilient functions. Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) were extensively used as a method of compact representation of various classes of Boolean functions. Furthermore, BDDs offer an opportunity for the efficient implementation of different construction methods for resilient functions. In this paper, we make use of BDDs with attributed edges to provide an implementation of two construction methods proposed by Maitra and Sakar. In addition, we demonstrate that the size of BDDs of resilient functions obtained in this way grows linearly with the number of variables.
