Abstract: We explicitly determine the binary representation of the inverse of all Kasami exponents Kr=22r−2r+1 modulo 2n−1 for all possible values of n and r. This includes as an important special case the APN Kasami exponents with gcd(r,n)=1. As a corollary, we determine the algebraic degree of the inverses of the Kasami functions. In particular, we show that the inverse of an APN Kasami function on mathbbF2n always has algebraic degree fracn+12 if nequiv0pmod3. For notequiv0pmod3 we prove that the algebraic degree is bounded from below by fracn3. We consider Kasami exponents whose inverses are quadratic exponents or Kasami exponents. We also determine the binary representation of the inverse of the Bracken-Leander exponent BLr=22r+2r+1 modulo 2n−1 where n=4r and r odd. We show that the algebraic degree of the inverse of the Bracken-Leander function is fracn+22.
