Abstract: Rotation symmetric Boolean functions (RSBFs) are highly valued in the construction of S-boxes for block ciphers and hash functions, owing to their efficient implementation and strong cryptographic performance. This paper introduces a novel construction of RSBFs on even numbers of variables that achieve optimal algebraic immunity. A key breakthrough is that for n ≥ 16 , the nonlinearity of our newly constructed functions significantly surpasses that of all previously known RSBFs with optimal algebraic immunity. Furthermore, we prove that the algebraic degree of these functions is optimal or suboptimal for special variable sizes. The fast algebraic immunity is also evaluated for some small numbers of variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
