EXAMPLE<br />

p = 37, a = 16<br />

z = 11<br />

(11 + √a) (p-1)/2 ≡ (11 + √a) 18 (mod 37)<br />

≡ (26 + 22√a) 9 (mod 37)<br />

≡ (26 + 22√a) 8 (26 +22√a)(mod 37)<br />

≡ (21 + 34√a) 4 (26 + 22√a)(mod 37)<br />

≡ (30 + 22√a) 2 (26 +22√a)(mod 37)<br />

≡ (23 + 25√a)(26 + 22√a) (mod 37)<br />

≡ (0 + 9√a) (mod 37)
