Abstract: Bent functions are important cryptographic Boolean functions. In order to enumerate eight-variable bent functions, we solve the following three key problems. Firstly, under the action of $AGL(7,2)$, we almost completely classify $R(4,7)/R(2,7)$. Secondly, we construct all seven-variable \emph{plateaued} functions from the orbits of $R(4,7)/R(2,7)$. Thirdly, we present a fast algorithm to expand \emph{plateaued} function into bent functions. Based on the results above, it is feasible to enumerate eight-variable bent functions in practice.
