Strict avalanche criterion over finite fields

Boolean functions which satisfy the Strict Avalanche Criterion (SAC) play an important role in the art of information security. In this paper, we extend the concept of SAC to finite fields GF(p). A necessary and sufficient condition is given by using spectral analysis. Also, based on an interesting...
