A power mapping f (x)= x/sup d/over GF (p/sup n/) is said to be differentially k-uniform if k is
the maximum number of solutions x/spl isin/GF (p/sup n/) of f (x+ a)-f (x)= b where a, b/spl
isin/GF (p/sup n/) and a/spl ne/0. A 2-uniform mapping is called almost perfect nonlinear
(APN). We construct several new infinite families of nonbinary APN power mappings.
