Classification conjecture for Sidon polynomials over prime fields

Let pp be a prime, and let PFp[x]P\in\mathbb{F}_p[x] be a Sidon polynomial, meaning that PP parametrizes a Sidon set in the associated polynomial construction. For polynomials P,PFp[x]P,P'\in\mathbb{F}_p[x], write PSPP\sim_{\mathcal S}P' when

P=RPTP'=R\circ P\circ T

for some permutation polynomials R,TFp[x]R,T\in\mathbb{F}_p[x].

Sidon-polynomial classification conjecture. If PFp[x]P\in\mathbb{F}_p[x] is a Sidon polynomial, then either

PSxP\sim_{\mathcal S}x

or

PSx2.P\sim_{\mathcal S}x^2.

This is the reformulation of the maximum-Sidon-set classification in terms of Sidon-equivalence classes. The supplied source gives no evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
