In this paper, it is shown that $\Gamma (R)$ is the zero-divisor graph of a Boolean ring if and only if det$(A)= -1$. Also, $A$ is similar to plus or minus its inverse whenever $R$ is a Boolean ring. As a consequence, it is proved that $\Gamma (R)$ is the zero-divisor graph of a Boolean ring if and only if the set of eigenvalues (including multiplicities) of $\Gamma (R)$ can be partitioned into 2-element subsets of the form $\{\lambda , \pm 1/\lambda \}$. Furthermore, any finite Boolean ring $R$ is characterized by the degree and coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of $A$.}, reviewer = {Chen Sheng (Harbin)}, identifier = {06025828}, }
