Constructing finite field extensions with large order elements
In this paper, we present an algorithm that given a fixed prime power q and a positive integer N, finds an integer n [N, 2qN] and an element Fqn of order greater than 5.8n/ logq n , in time polynomial in N. We present another algorithm that find an integer n [N, N + O(N0.77 )] and an element Fqn of order at least 5.8 n , in time polynomial in N. Our result is inspired by the recent AKS primality testing algorithm [1] and the subsequent improvements [4, 5, 3].
