We study unitary rings of characteristic 2 satisfying identity x^p = x for some natural number p. We characterize several infinite families of these rings which are Boolean, i.e., every element is idempotent. For example, it is in the case if p = 2^n - 2 or p = 2^n - 5 or p = 2^n + 1 for a suitable natural number n. Some other (more general) cases are solved for p expressed in the form 2^q + 2m + 1 or 2^q + 2m where q is a natural number and m ∈ 1,2,...,2^q - 1.
Keywords: Boolean ring, unitary ring, characteristic 2
