Abstract :
The paper deals with the measurement of error propagation properties of Boolean functions and permutations. The author considers two such measurements. The first describes the output response when a single-bit input change occurs. The second characterises the output for double-bit changes. Those two measurements (in the paper termed indicators) have been applied to the permutations used in the DES cryptosystem and to the permutations generated by exponentiation.
