Expand description

A crate for generating large prime numbers, suitable for cryptography.

Primes are generated similarly to OpenSSL except it applies some recommendations from the Prime and Prejudice.

  1. Generate a random odd number of a given bit-length.
  2. Divide the candidate by the first 2048 prime numbers
  3. Test the candidate with Fermat’s Theorem.
  4. Runs Baillie-PSW test with log2(bits) + 5 Miller-Rabin tests
