A class of cubic Maiorana–McFarland (M) bent functions having no affine derivative was constructed by Canteaut and Charpin [ Decomposing bent functions, IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 49(8) (2003), pp. 2004–2019], thereby solving an open problem posed by Hou [Cubic bent functions, Discrete Math. 189 (1998), pp. 149–161]. The goal of the paper is twofold: we construct two classes of cubic M bent functions with no affine derivative and show their mutual affine Inequivalence.
