Abstract:
The paper deals with the problem of constructing, describing and applying bases of vector spaces over the field
$\mathrm{GF(2)}$ generated by the componentwise product operation up to degree
$d$. This problem “Bases” was posed as unsolved in the Olympiad in cryptography NSUCRYPTO. In order to give a way to solve this problem with the Reed — Muller codes, we define the generating family
$\mathcal{F}$ as a list of all string
$i$ in a true table under condition: the word
$x^1_i , \ldots, x^s_i$ has Hamming weight not superior
$d$. The values of coefficients of function
$f$ are determined recurrently, as in the proof of the theorem on ANF: the coefficient before composition for subset
$T$ (cardinality does not exceed
$d$) in the set
$\{t^1,\ldots,t^s\}$ of arguments is determined as the sum of the values of
$f$ and the values of the coefficients for the whole subset
$R\subseteq T$. Hence, for all
$s,d$,
$s \geq d > 1$, there is a basis for which such a family exists, and the construction of the bases is described above. We propose to use general affine group on space
$F^s$,
$F=\mathrm{GF}(2)$, for obtaining the class of such bases in the condition of the problem.
