Complete permutation classification for reversed Dickson second-kind polynomials

Let p5p\geq 5 be a prime, and let En(1,x)E_n(1,x) denote the reversed Dickson polynomial of the second kind. A complete permutation polynomial (CPP) is a polynomial ff such that both f(x)f(x) and f(x)+xf(x)+x permute Fp\mathbb{F}_p. Reversed Dickson second-kind complete permutation conjecture. En(1,x)E_n(1,x) is a CPP of Fp\mathbb{F}_p if and only if

n3(modp(p21)).n\equiv 3\pmod{p(p^2-1)}.

This is the complete-mapping analogue of the preceding permutation conjecture and is presented without a proof; its general validity remains open.
