Abstract

Block substitutions, or bijective mappings of n-bit binary n-tuples, are widely used in cryptography. There is a continuing interest in finding such mappings which are resistant to cryptanalysis. Orthomorphisms can be used for this purpose, and they are shown to be characterized by the property that each maximal subgroup of the group of binary n-tuples is mapped half into itself and half into its complement.
