Abstract

Butterfly structure was proposed in CRYPTO 2016 [PUB16], and it can
generate permutations over F22n from power permutations over F2n for odd n. After
that, a generalized butterfly structure was proposed in IEEE IT [CDP17], which can
generate permutations over F22n from any permutation over F2n . There is also another
generalization which was given in [FFW17]. Up to now, three constructions based on
butterfly structure and Gold type permutations are proposed. In the present paper,
we give a construction which contains the three previous constructions as special cases
and also generates new permutations with good cryptographic properties. Moreover,
we give a characterization of the number of solutions of a special system of linear
equations in a more general way, which is useful to investigate the cryptographic
properties of quadratic functions obtained with butterfly construction based on Gold
exponents.
