Adleman-Manders-Miller Root Extraction Method Revisited

Symbolic Computation 2011-11-22 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

In 1977, Adleman, Manders and Miller had briefly described how to extend their square root extraction method to the general rrth root extraction over finite fields, but not shown enough details. Actually, there is a dramatic difference between the square root extraction and the general rrth root extraction because one has to solve discrete logarithms for rrth root extraction. In this paper, we clarify their method and analyze its complexity. Our heuristic presentation is helpful to grasp the method entirely and deeply.
