Dual and Hull code in the first two generic constructions and relationship with the Walsh transform of cryptographic functions
摘要
We contribute to the knowledge of linear codes from special polynomials and functions, which have been studied intensively in the past few years. Such codes have several applications in secret sharing, authentication codes, association schemes and strongly regular graphs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work in which the dual and hull codes are studied in the framework of the two generic constructions; in particular, we propose a Gram–Schmidt process to compute them explicitly. We also determine a necessary condition expressed by employing the Walsh transform for a codeword of
