THE CLASS OF PERFECT TERNARY ARRAYS

Abstract

In recent decades, perfect algebraic constructions are successfully being use to signal systems synthesis, to construct block and stream cryptographic algorithms, to create pseudo-random sequence generators as well as in many other fields of science and technology. Among perfect algebraic constructions a significant place is occupied by bent-sequences and the class of perfect binary arrays associated with them. Bent-sequences are used for development of modern cryptographic primitives, as well as for constructing constant amplitude codes (C-codes) used in code division multiple access technology. In turn, perfect binary arrays are used for constructing correction codes, systems of biphase phase- shifted signals and multi-level cryptographic systems. The development of methods of many-valued logic in modern information and communication systems has attracted the attention of researchers to the improvement of methods for synthesizing many-valued bent-sequences for cryptography and information transmission tasks. The new results obtained in the field of the synthesis of ternary bent-sequences, make actual the problem of researching the class of perfect ternary arrays. In this paper we consider the problem of extending the definition of perfect binary arrays to three-valued logic case, as a result of which the definition of a perfect ternary array was introduced on the basis of the determination of the unbalance of the ternary function. A complete class of perfect ternary arrays of the third order is obtained by a regular method, bypassing the search. Thus, it is established that the class of perfect ternary arrays is a union of four subclasses, in each of which the corresponding methods of reproduction are determined. The paper establishes the relationship between the class of ternary bent-sequences and the class of perfect ternary arrays. The obtained results are the basis for the introduction of perfect ternary arrays into modern cryptographic and telecommunication algorithms.
