  Abstract

We present a square root algorithm in F<SUB>q</SUB> which generalizes Atkin"s square root algorithm [9] for finite field F<SUB>q</SUB> of q elements where q=5(mod 8) and Kong et al."s algorithm [11] for the case q≡9 (mod 16) . Our algorithm precomputes ζ a primitive 2<SUP>s</SUP> -th root of unity where s is the largest positive integer satisfying 2<SUP>s</SUP> lq-1, and is applicable for the cases when s is small. The proposed algorithm requires one exponentiation for square root computation and is favorably compared with the algorithms of Atkin, Muller and Kong et al.
