### Paper: On Zigzag Functions and Related Objects in New Metric

Authors: An Braeken Ventzislav Nikov Svetla Nikova URL: http://eprint.iacr.org/2006/437 Search ePrint Search Google In \cite{BCS96}, the concept of zigzag function was introduced in relation with oblivious transfer \cite{R84}. This subject has later been studied in \cite{S99,DS01,CFW01}. The definition of zigzag functions has been generalized to $s$-zigzag functions for $2\leq s\leq n$. It turns out that zigzag functions are also interesting combinatorial objects, thanks to their relation with self-intersecting codes and orthogonal arrays \cite{BCS96,S99}. The aim of this work is to formulate these objects with respect to a new metric following the approach proposed in \cite{BNNP} and to investigate the properties of the generalized zigzag functions and related concepts.
