A term used in S-box and Boolean function analysis As described by Lloyd: "A function is balanced if, when all input vectors are equally likely, then all output vectors are equally likely " Lloyd, S 1990 Properties of binary functions Advances in Cryptology -- EUROCRYPT '90 124-139 There is some desire to generalize this definition to describe multiple-input functions (Is a function "balanced" if, for one value on the first input, all output values can be produced, but for another value on the first input, only some output values are possible?) Presumably a two-input balanced function would be balanced for either input fixed at any value, which would essentially be a Latin square or a Latin square combiner
