Algebraic immunity of Boolean function f is defined as the minimal degree of a nonzero g such that fg=0 or (f+1)g=0. Given a positive even integer n, it is found that the weight distribution of any n-variable symmetric Boolean function with maximum algebraic immunity (n)/(2) is determined by the binary expansion of n. Based on the foregoing, all n-variable symmetric Boolean functions with maximum algebraic immunity are constructed. The amount is (2\wt(n)+1)2\lfloor log2 n \rfloor
