a Boolean function of an even number of variables at maximum distance from all affine functions, valued in cipher design for resisting linear cryptanalysis.

In cryptography, bent function refers to a Boolean function of an even number of variables at maximum distance from all affine functions, valued in cipher design for resisting linear cryptanalysis. This meaning comes from Rothaus (1976) in Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A.[1]
