Abstract

We are using the extended Maiorana-McFarland construction to create new bent functions. When we start with a bent function of dimension s-r, we can produce a new function of dimension s+r while ensuring that its balance is limited to the set of vectors with an even Hamming weight in its domain. We also compare this approach with the case where r=1 and apply it multiple times. Finally, we provide an algorithm as an example, focusing on the case where r=2 and another algorithm using r=1 two times.
