Blondeau et al.'s differential 8-uniformity conjecture for two power functions

Let n=2mn=2m with mm odd, and let Fd:xxdF_d:x\mapsto x^d be a power permutation polynomial over F2n\mathbb{F}_{2^n}, where

d=2m+2(m+1)/2+1d=2^m+2^{(m+1)/2}+1

or

d=2m+1+3.d=2^{m+1}+3.

Blondeau et al.'s conjecture. For each of these two values of dd, FdF_d is differentially 88-uniform, and all values 0,2,4,6,80,2,4,6,8 occur in its differential spectrum. The paper presents this as an open conjecture of Blondeau et al.; the supplied text does not indicate a resolution.
