Sachkov, V. N. Combinatorial properties of differentially 2-uniform substitutions. (Russian. English summary) Zbl 1475.94159 Mat. Vopr. Kriptografii 6, No. 1, 159-179 (2015). Summary: A combinatorial approach to the investigation and methods of construction of differentially 2-uniform substitutions of the vector space over the finite field \(F_2\) is proposed. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the family of sets associated with a differentially 2-uniform substitution to be a symmetric block design are given. It is shown that a substitution is differentially 2-uniform if and only if it is a solution of a similarity equations system connecting a family of translations with a family of unequal weights involutions. We suggest methods of construction of differentially 2-uniform substitutions by means of the Cayley table of an additive group of finite field \(F_{2^m}\).
