Abstract

We obtain concrete upper bounds on the algebraic immunity of a class of highly nonlinear plateaued functions without linear structures than the one was given recently in 2017, Cusick. Moreover, we extend Cusick’s class to a much bigger explicit class and we show that our class has better algebraic immunity by an explicit example. We also give a new notion of linear translator, which includes the Frobenius linear translator given in 2018, Cepak, Pasalic and Muratović-Ribić as a special case. We find some applications of our new notion of linear translator to the construction of permutation polynomials. Furthermore, we give explicit classes of permutation polynomials over \(\mathbb {F}_{q^n}\) using some properties of \(\mathbb {F}_q\) and some conditions of 2011, Akbary, Ghioca and Wang.
