Exceptional APN functions have attracted attention of many researchers in the last decades. While the classification of exceptional APN monomials has been done by Hernando and McGuire, it has been conjectured by Aubry, McGuire and Rodier that up to equivalence, the only exceptional APN functions are the Gold and the Kasami–Welch monomial functions. Since then, many partial results have been on classifying non-exceptional APN polynomials. In this paper, for the classification of the exceptional property of APN functions, we introduce a new method that uses techniques from curves over finite fields.
