Abstract

We describe a new deterministic algorithm for the problem of constructing k-Th power nonresidues in finite fields GF(pn), where p is prime and k is a prime divisor of pn - 1. We prove under the assumption of the Extended Riemann Hypothesis (ERH), that for fixed n and p + ∼, our algorithm runs in polynomial time. Unlike previous algorithms for this problem, this polynomial time bound holds even if k is very large. More generally, assuming the ERH, in time (log p)"(n) we can construct a set of elements that generates GF(pn).
