Abstract:
A bent function is self-dual if it is equal to its dual function. We study the metric properties of the self-dual bent functions constructed on using available constructions. We find the full Hamming distance spectrum between self-dual Maiorana–McFarland bent functions. Basing on this, we find the minimal Hamming distance between the functions under study. Bibliogr. 22.
