Improvements on Cantor-Zassenhaus Factorization Algorithm

Number Theory 2011-05-30 v2

Abstract

After revisiting Cantor-Zassenhaus polynomial factorization algorithm, we describe a new simplified version of it, which requires less computational cost. Moreover we show that it is able to find a factor of a fully splitting polynomial of degree tt over F2m\mathbb F_{2^m} with O(2m3t)O(\frac{2^m}{3^{t}}) attempts and over Fpm\mathbb F_{p^m} for odd pp with O(pm2t)O(\frac{p^m}{2^{t}}) attempts.
