### Paper: The simplest method for constructing APN polynomials EA-inequivalent to power functions

Authors: Lilya Budaghyan URL: http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/058 Search ePrint Search Google The first APN polynomials EA-inequivalent to power functions have been constructed in [1,2] by applying CCZ-equivalence to the Gold APN functions. It is a natural question whether it is possible to construct APN polynomials EA-inequivalent to power functions by using only EA-equivalence and inverse transformation on a power APN function: this would be the simplest method to construct APN polynomials EA-inequivalent to power functions. In the present paper we prove that the answer to this question is positive. By this method we construct a class of APN polynomials EA-inequivalent to power functions. On the other hand it is shown that the APN polynomials from [1,2] cannot be obtained by the introduced method. [1] L. Budaghyan, C. Carlet, A. Pott.
