Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted as having no substantive content, because... (your reason here) --Garfield Garfield (talk) 19:09, 30 September 2014 (UTC) It does contain content.[reply]

  1. It gives an algorithm for computing the discrete exponential.
  2. It explains why a sophisticated algorithm is needed, to avoid astronomically large numbers.
The algorithm is essentially identical to algorithms already presented at modular exponentiation. Mgnbar (talk) 17:42, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
