On non-monomial APcN permutations over finite fields of even characteristic

Abstract: Recently, a new concept called the $c$-differential uniformity was proposed by Ellingsen et al. (2020), which allows to simplify some types of differential cryptanalysis. Since then, finding functions having low $c$-differential uniformity has attracted the attention of many researchers. However it seems that, at this moment, there are not many non-monomial permutations having low $c$-differential uniformity. In this paper, we propose new classes of almost perfect $c$-nonlinear non-monomial permutations over a binary field.
