A direct proof of APN-ness of the Kasami functions
Abstract: Using recent results on solving the equation $X{2k+1}+X+a=0$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}{2n}$, we address an open question raised by the first author in WAIFI 2014 concerning the APN-ness of the Kasami functions $x\mapsto x{2{2k}-2k+1}$ with $gcd(k,n)=1$, $x\in\mathbb{F}{2n}$.
