Rabin’s algorithm is commonly used in computer algebra systems and elsewhere for primality testing. This paper presents an experience with this in the Axiom* computer algebra system. As a result of this experience, we suggest certain strengthenings of the algorithm.

Some Primality Testing Algorithms
We describe the primality testing algorithms in use in some popular computer algebra systems, and give some examples where they break down in practice.
Primality testing of large numbers in Maple
Primality testing of large numbers is very important in many areas of mathematics, computer science and cryptography, and in recent years, many of the modern primality testing algorithms have been… Expand
Efficient polynomial time algorithms computing industrial-strength primitive roots
TLDR
An asymptotically O˜(√1/elog(p)+log2(p)) algorithm providing primitive roots of p with probability of correctness greater than 1-e and several O(logα(p)), α≤5.23, algorithms computing "Industrial-strength" primitive roots. Expand
The Carmichael numbers up to $10^{16}$
We extend our previous computations to show that there are 246683 Carmichael numbers up to $10^{16}$. As before, the numbers were generated by a back-tracking search for possible prime factorisations… Expand
Pseudoprimes: A Survey of Recent Results
TLDR
Public key cryptosystems require the use of large prime numbers, numbers with at least 256 bits (80 decimal digits), and one way of dealing with this problem is to use special primes built up using the converse of Fermat's theorem. Expand
A Bias-Free Quantum Random Number Generation Using Photon Arrival Time Selectively
We present a high-quality bias-free quantum random number generator (QRNG) using photon arrival time selectively, in accordance with the number of photon detection events within a sampling time… Expand

Robust efficient distributed RSA-key generation
TLDR
The disclosed method can be combined with proactive function sharing techniques to establish the first efficient, optimal-resilience, robust and proactively-secure RSA-based distributed trust services where the key is never entrusted to a single entity. Expand

Probabilistic algorithm for testing primality
Abstract We present a practical probabilistic algorithm for testing large numbers of arbitrary form for primality. The algorithm has the feature that when it determines a number composite then the… Expand

On strong pseudoprimes to several bases
With Y'k denoting the smallest strong pseudoprime to all of the first k primes taken as bases we determine the exact values for 5, q6, q7, q8 and give upper bounds for V/9, / W t,' 1 . We discuss the… Expand
