Abstract

The enumeration of m-resilient Boolean functions in n variables would be a quite useful information for cryptography. But it seems to be an intractable open problem. Upper and lower bounds have appeared in the literature in the mid 80驴s. Since then, improving them has been the goal of several papers. In this paper, we give a new upper bound which partially improves upon all the known bounds.
