Taking roots over high extensions of finite fields

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present a new algorithm for computing m-th roots over the finite field Fq, where q=pn, with p a prime, and m any positive integer. In the particular case m=2, the cost of the new algorithm is an expected O(M(n)log(p)+CC(n)log(n)) operations in Fp, where M(n) and CC(n) are bounds for the cost of polynomial multiplication and modular polynomial composition. Known results give M(n)=O(nlog(n)loglog(n)) and CC(n)=O(n1.67), so our algorithm is subquadratic in n.
