Keywords: Computational algebra, circuit complexity theory, factoring polynomials


Motivated by questions in circuit complexity, this paper characterizes all the factorizations of a polynomial with coefficients in the ring Zn where n is a composite number. We give algorithms to compute such factorizations along with the algebraic classifications.
