Presumably none of this affects for the worse the common trick of
pre-rotating the combined pre-computed and sometimes pre-shifted DES
P&S boxes in order to avoid an inner-loop one-bit rotate?

Are you sure about that? They kind of look like multivariate
polynomials of degree one to me. Or am I missing something?

Nevermind. I got turned around. They would be relatively high degree.

Since, in binary, x^2 = x, when people say degree,
they mean "number of variables". So in my example
there were terms of degree 3.

Yeah, no worries. This is all still relatively new to me, and for
each new thing I learn I seem to forget three others, and have to
relearn them again once I realize that I've screwed up somewhere...
