EXAMPLE<br />

p = 37, a = 16<br />

z = 5<br />

(5 + √a) (p-1)/2 ≡ (5 + √a) 18 (mod 37)<br />

≡ (4 + 10√a) 9 (mod 37)<br />

≡ (4 + 10√a) 8 (4 + 10√a) (mod 37)<br />

≡ (25 + 6√a) 4 (4 + 10√a) (mod 37)<br />

≡ (17 + 4√a) 2 (4 + 10√a) (mod 37)<br />

≡ (27 + 25√a)(4 + 10√a) (mod 37)<br />

≡ (1 + 0√a) (mod 37)
