We present a new algorithm for a decision problem if two Latin squares are isotopic. Our modification has the same complexity as Miller’s algorithm, but in many practical situations is much faster. Based on our results we study also a zero-knowledge protocol suggested in [3]. From our results it follows that there are some problems in practical application of this protocol.
