Instead of checking
z^r==1
in GT (wherer
is 378 bit), we do the following sequential check:z^(Phi_k(p)) == 1
(wherePhi_k(p)
is the kth-cyclotomic polynomial) andz^(p+1-t) == 1
wheret
, the Frobenius trace, happens to be defined by the polynomialt(x) = (-x⁶ + 5x⁵ - 9x⁴ + 7x³ - 4x + 5)/3 + 1
in the case of the BW6-756 curve
