The distribution of quadratic residues and non-residues in the Goldwasser–Micali type of cryptosystem

We provide unconditional results and conditional ones under the assumption of GRH (Generalized Riemann Hypothesis) on the distribution of quadratic residues and quadratic non-residues in ℤ/Nℤ$\mathbb {Z}/N\mathbb {Z}$, where N=pq$N= pq$ is an RSA modulus used in the Goldwasser–Micali cryptosystem.
