Abstract
We introduce a fast spectral algorithm for computing influences of variables for Boolean functions. The influence of variables, as defined in computer science has close relationships with some criteria used in cryptographic evaluation of boolean functions, especially resilience. Our spectral algorithm can also be utilized to compute the resilience of Boolean functions. The algorithm is also of independent interest as a generalization of the Walsh-Hadamard transform.
