The weight distribution of a class of linear codes from perfect nonlinear functions
Jin Yun Yuan, Claude Carlet, Cunsheng Ding · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 2006
In this correspondence, the weight distribution of a class of linear codes based on perfect nonlinear functions (also called planar functions) is determined. The class of linear codes under study are either optimal or among the best codes known, and have nice applications in cryptography.
