            Abstract : 
We describe the algebraic immunity and calculation of algebraic immunity of boolean functions. We propose a new balanced n-variable boolean function with high algebraic immunity. We check the nonlinearity of the new function for n < 20 and the algebraic immunity of the function in case of n < 18. We conjecture it has optimum algebraic immunity.
