Abstract

We study PN and APN functions over the integers modulo n. We give some construction techniques based on Costas arrays, which allow us to construct APN permutations on Z"p"-"1 where p is a prime. Although PN permutations do not exist, one set of our functions is very close to being a set of PN permutations.
