| There are <math>2^{2^k}</math> such functions. These play a basic role in questions of [[complexity theory]] as well as the design of circuits and chips for [[digital computer]]s. The properties of boolean functions play a critical role in [[cryptography]], particularly in the design of [[symmetric key algorithm]]s (see [[S-box]]). | | There are <math>2^{2^k}</math> such functions.
