Reversed Dickson second-kind permutation classification for primes greater than seven

Let p>7p>7 be a prime, and let En(1,x)E_n(1,x) denote the reversed Dickson polynomial of the second kind. A permutation polynomial (PP) is a polynomial that permutes Fp\mathbb{F}_p. The large-prime reversed Dickson permutation conjecture. En(1,x)E_n(1,x) is a PP of Fp\mathbb{F}_p if and only if

n2,3(modp(p21)).n\equiv 2,3\pmod{p(p^2-1)}.

This extends the explicitly conjectured classifications for p=5p=5 and p=7p=7; the general classification for p>7p>7 is not proved in the source.
