Abstract
Very recently, Carlet, Méaux and Rotella have studied the main cryptographic features of Boolean functions when, for a given number n of variables, the input to these functions is restricted to some subset E of \(\mathbb {F}_{2}^{n}\). Their study includes the particular case when E equals the set of vectors of fixed Hamming weight, which is important in the robustness of the Boolean function involved in the FLIP stream cipher. In this paper we focus on the nonlinearity of Boolean functions with restricted input and present new results related to the analysis of this nonlinearity improving the upper bound given by Carlet et al.
