文摘It is already known that there are several nonlinearity criteria such asalgebraic degree nonlinearity, distance to linear structures, correlation immune, propagationcriterion, differential uniformity, which are used to check whether a cryptographic function is weakor not. In this paper we will discuss these criteria from a valuation point of view, and considerthe largest transformation group which leave a criterion invariant, which is named its symmetrygroup. It can serve as a way of comparing the stability of nonlinearity criteria under the action ofinvertible transformations.
