NAME¶
Math::Prime::Util::RandomPrimes - Generate random primes
VERSION¶
Version 0.73
SYNOPSIS¶
DESCRIPTION¶
Routines to generate random primes, including constructing proven primes.
RANDOM PRIME FUNCTIONS¶
random_prime¶
Generate a random prime between "low" and "high". If given one argument, "low" will be 2.
random_ndigit_prime¶
Generate a random prime with "n" digits. "n" must be at least 1.
random_nbit_prime¶
Generate a random prime with "n" bits. "n" must be at least 2.
random_maurer_prime¶
Construct a random provable prime of "n" bits using Maurer's FastPrime algorithm. "n" must be at least 2.
random_maurer_prime_with_cert¶
Construct a random provable prime of "n" bits using Maurer's FastPrime algorithm. "n" must be at least 2. Returns a list of two items: the prime and the certificate.
random_shawe_taylor_prime¶
Construct a random provable prime of "n" bits using Shawe-Taylor's algorithm. "n" must be at least 2. The implementation is from FIPS 186-4 and uses SHA-256 with 512 bits of randomness.
random_shawe_taylor_prime_with_cert¶
Construct a random provable prime of "n" bits using Shawe-Taylor's algorithm. "n" must be at least 2. Returns a list of two items: the prime and the certificate.
random_strong_prime¶
Construct a random strong prime of "n" bits. "n" must be at least 128.
random_proven_prime¶
Generate or construct a random provable prime of "n" bits. "n" must be at least 2.
random_proven_prime_with_cert¶
Generate or construct a random provable prime of "n" bits. "n" must be at least 2. Returns a list of two items: the prime and the certificate.
