Plateaued functions are significant in cryptography as they possess various desirable cryptographic properties. Two important classes of plateaued functions are those of bent functions and semi-bent functions, due to their combinatorial and algebraic properties. Constructions of bent functions have been extensively investigated. However only few constructions of semi-bent functions have been proposed in the literature. In general, finding new constructions of bent and semi-bent functions is not a simple task. The paper is devoted to the construction of semi-bent functions with even number of variables. We show that bent functions give rise to primary and secondary-like constructions of semi-bent functions.
