\section{Boolean Functions}
In this section, we will introduce some functions that are very important in information theory and in cryptography, i.e. \emph{Boolean functions}.\\
First we consider some examples.
For \begin{Example}For a given set of bits $S$ we define the "parity bit" a new bit that is $1$ if the number of bits $1$ is odd, $0$ otherwise. For example if $S$ has $3$
bits bits, that is $S=\{x,y,z\}$, we have the function $f:(\Fb)^3 \rightarrow \Fb$, that is $f(x,y,z)=x+y+z$ where $x+y+z\in \Fb$.
\end{Example}
Verify that the new bit $f(x,y,z)$ is the parity bit.
the occurrences of bits whose value is 1 is countedwe want to
Let $f:(\Fb)^3 \rightarrow \Fb$ be a polynomial function such that
