      The authors use a fast algorithm for computing the 2-part of the class group in the narrow sense of a quadratic number field from \textit{W. Bosma} and \textit{P. Stevenhagen} [J. Théor. Nombres Bordx. 8, 283-313 (1986; Zbl 0870.11080)]. They combine it with a relation between ternary quadratic forms and ideals. Thus they can also calculate the 2-part of the usual class group very fast.
