Instead of checking z^r==1 in GT (where r is 378 bit), we do the following sequential check:

  • z^(Phi_k(p)) == 1 (where Phi_k(p) is the kth-cyclotomic polynomial) and
  • z^(p+1-t) == 1 where t, the Frobenius trace, happens to be defined by the polynomial t(x) = (-x⁶ + 5x⁵ - 9x⁴ + 7x³ - 4x + 5)/3 + 1 in the case of the BW6-756 curve
