  • Abstract
    It is shown that a Boolean combining function f(x) of n variables is mth-order correlation-immune if and only if its Walsh transform F(ω) vanishes for all ω with Hamming weight between 1 and m, inclusive. This result is used to extend slightly Siegenthaler´s (IEEE Trans. Comput., vol. C-34, pp. 81-85, Jan. 1985) characterization of the algebraic normal form of correlation-immune combining functions
