This survey reviews several algorithms for the factorization of univariate polynomials over finite fields. We emphasize the main ideas of the methods and provide an up-to-date bibliography of the problem.

Let T n (x, a) Κ¦ GF(q)[x] be a Dickson polynomial over the finite field GF(q) of either the first kind or the second kind of degree n in the indeterminate x and with parameter a. We give a complete description of the factorization of T n (x, a) over GF(q).
Generalizing the norm and trace mappings for % O P /% O , we introduce an interesting class of polynomials over "nite "elds and study their properties. These polynomials are then used to construct curves over "nite "elds with many rational points.
The aim of this note is to show that the (well-known) factorization of the 2 nΟ©1 th cyclotomic polynomial x 2 n Ο© 1 over GF(q) with q Ο΅ 1 (mod 4) can be used to prove the (more complicated) factorization of this polynomial over GF(q) with q Ο΅ 3 (mod 4).
We study value sets of polynomials over a finite field, and value sets associated to pairs of such polynomials. For example, we show that the value sets (counting multiplicities) of two polynomials of degree at most d are identical or have at most q!(q!1)/d values in common where q is the number of
