Investigations of c-Differential Uniformity of Permutations with Carlitz Rank 3

The $c$-differential uniformity is recently proposed to reflect resistance against some variants of differential attack. Finding functions with low $c$-differential uniformity is attracting attention from many researchers. For even characteristic, it is known that permutations of low Carlitz rank have good cryptographic parameters, for example, low differential uniformity, high nonlinearity, etc. In this paper we show that permutations with low Carlitz rank have low $c$-differential uniformity. We also investigate $c$-differential uniformity of permutations with Carlitz rank 3 in detail.
