A bent function is a boolean function of variables that have nonlinearity equal to . Walsh-Adamar coefficients of bent function are equal to . This gives the alternative definition of bent functions. Bent functions have even number of variables and achive the bound of maximal possible nonlinearity. This makes them a good blocks for cryptographics stream cyphers. Bent functions is a specific case of plateaued functions.
