Claw-free permutations are a concept from the field of theoretical computer science, particularly in the study of cryptography and combinatorial structures. A permutation on a finite set is considered claw-free if it does not contain any "claws," which informally refers to certain types of substructures that can allow for unwanted properties, particularly in cryptographic applications.
