Abstract

An algorithm is presented that constructs an irreducible polynomial of specified degree n over a finite field Fq. The algorithm is probabilistic, and is asymptotically faster than previously known probabilistic algorithms for this problem. It uses an expected number of Oqq(n2+n log q) operations in Fq, where the `soft-O' Oqq indicates an implicit factor of (log n)O(1).
