Miller-Rabin primality test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Miller-Rabin primality test or Rabin-Miller primality test is a primality test: an algorithm which determines whether a given number is prime, similar to the Fermat primality test and the Solovay-Strassen primality test. The Miller-Rabin test is strictly stronger than the Solovay-Strassen primality test in the sense the set of strong liars of the Miller-Rabin test is a subset of the set of the Solovay-Strassen primality test. For theoretical purposes, it was superseded by the AKS primality test, which does not rely on unproven assumptions. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Miller-Rabin_primality_test   (1440 words)

Michael O. Rabin - Psychology Central In 1975, Rabin also invented the Miller-Rabin primality test, a randomized algorithm that can determine very quickly (but with a tiny probability of error) whether a number is prime. Rabin was born as the son of a rabbi in what was then known as Breslau (it became Wrocław, and part of Poland, after the Second World War). In 1981, Rabin invented the technique of oblivious transfer, allowing a sender to transmit a message to a receiver where the receiver has some probability between 0 and 1 of learning the message, with the sender being unaware whether the receiver was able to do so. psychcentral.com /psypsych/Michael_Rabin   (451 words)

Fermat primality test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although Carmichael numbers are rare, there are enough of them that Fermat's primality test is often not used in favor of other primality tests such as Miller-Rabin and Solovay-Strassen. The Fermat primality test is a probabilistic test to determine if a number is composite or probably prime. n), where k is the number of times we test a random a, and n is the value we want to test for primality. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fermat_primality_test   (374 words)

PlanetMath: Miller-Rabin prime test This is version 6 of Miller-Rabin prime test, born on 2004-12-21, modified 2005-02-23. is composite, then this is indeed the case, so it is really a compositeness test rather than a test for primality. When comparing this test with the related Solovay-Strassen test one sees that this test is superior is several ways: planetmath.org /encyclopedia/StrongPseudoprime.html   (209 words)

Prime number - Simple English Wikipedia This method or algorithm takes to long to find very large prime numbers, but it may be understood more easily than ones used for very large primes, like Ferrmat's primality test or the Miller-Rabin primality test. Testing a number can be done quite simply. On a sheet of paper, write all the whole numbers from 2 up to the number being tested. simple.wikipedia.org /wiki/Prime_number   (513 words)

Cryptomathic Labs - Rabin Primality Test If the test succeeds you are dealing with a prime (with extremely high probability). If the test fails, you can be certain that you are not dealing with a prime. Did you ever wonder how we test these gigantic odd numbers that we think may be prime? www.cryptomathic.com /labs/rabinprimalitytest.html   (187 words)

Primes and Primality Testing Test the positive integer n for primality using the algorithm specified by the parameter Al, (default division) using the optional parameters that depend on the algorithm as described below. Proving the primality of very big integers can be time consuming and therefore in some of the algorithms using primes and factorization of integers the user can speed up the algorithm by explicitly allowing Magma to use probable primes rather than primes. A probable prime is an integer that has failed some compositeness test; if an integer passes a compositeness test it will be composite, but there is a (small) probability that a composite number will fail the test and is hence called a probable prime. www.math.wayne.edu /answers/magma/htmlhelp/text341.html   (1155 words)

Faculty of Arts & Sciences: News and Events He is well-known for co-developing the Miller-Rabin randomized primality test, an algorithm which determines whether a given number is prime. Rabin is also a member of several academies, including the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the French Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, and the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. Currently, Rabin and his students have practically implemented Hyper-Encryption by using a "virtual satellite" model, a common peer-to-peer network where each node stores and updates random pages that are downloaded on request by parties using a common key. www.fas.harvard.edu /home/news_and_events/releases/rabin_12132004.html   (450 words)

Baillie-PSW Primality Test The Baillie-PSW primality test is actually a compositeness test, in the manner of Fermat's test and the Miller-Rabin test. However, I have not employed the extra strong Lucas test in the Baillie-PSW test, as the Lucas sequence parameters are inconsistent with those of the Lucas-Selfridge tests; consequently, the extra strong Lucas pseudoprimes were not found to be disjoint from those of the Miller-Rabin test with base 2 (or any other single Miller-Rabin base employed).

Looking for Primes There are two newer probabilistic primality tests which also involve trying different values of a number which we can still call b to test if n is prime. There is a more complicated primality test which is still much quicker than factoring which can be used to make certain that a number is prime. For this test, one chooses b to be between 2 and n-2. friedo.szm.sk /krypto/JS/pk050201.htm   (966 words)

SLIB - Numerics This probability can be made arbitarily small by adjusting the number of iterations of the Miller-Rabin test. If you accidentally pick 703 to test for primality, the probability of failure is (161/703)^3, or about 1.2e-2, which is almost as high as the computed bound. If you are picking candidates at random and testing for primality, this works well since very few composites are strong pseudo-primes to small prime bases. www.cs.bgu.ac.il /~elhadad/scm/slib_4.html   (1766 words)

Note on primality testing This test is consistently used, throughout this package, in preference to the Miller-Rabin probabilistic primality test—which is also implemented and included. During the development, and tests, of the primality testing code, certain large numbers where found to be possible primes, even though the invocation of the This library includes a Java port of Colin Plumb's implementation of Euler's Criterion for primality testing, from his www.gnu.org /software/gnu-crypto/primes-note.html   (583 words)

Problem H - String to Palindrome The connaisseur will recognize this function as the essential part of the Miller-Rabin primality test, although it can appear in different forms throughout the literature. This gives us a very quick primality test for all numbers within the range of current day integers. In this problem we want you to calculate the failures of the function Suspect(b, n) in a certain base and for a certain range of numbers n. acm.uva.es /p/v109/10956.html   (727 words)

DSA_generate_parameters.3ssl.html While a candidate for q is tested by Miller-Rabin primality tests, callback(1, i, cb_arg) is called in the outer loop (once for each witness that confirms that the candidate may be prime); i is the loop counter (starting at 0). While it is tested by the Miller-Rabin primality test, callback(1, i, cb_arg) is called in the outer loop (once for each witness that confirms that the (starting at 0). In versions up to OpenSSL 0.9.4, callback(1,...) was called in the inner loop of the Miller-Rabin test whenever it reached the squaring step (the parameters to callback did not reveal how many witnesses had been tested); since OpenSSL 0.9.5, callback(1,...) is called as in BN_is_prime(3), i.e. www.ibiblio.org /gferg/ldp/man/man3/DSA_generate_parameters.3ssl.html   (407 words)

ASPN : Python Cookbook : Rabin-Miller probabilistic prime test From what I understand (very little), Rabin Miller is one of the better methods for testing for whether a number is composite. I implemented a variant of the Rabin Miller algorithm as provided in Algorithm Design by Goodrich and Tamassia, which is stated in the comment preceeding the content of the recipe. In the case where a test value is not a witness for the compositeness of a potential prime, it can only lie with a probability of at most 1/4. aspn.activestate.com /ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/410681   (960 words)

A comparison of average-case complexity primality tests To reach this objective I have implemented the Miller-Rabin primality test and the EQFTac Primality test. In [1] the EQFTac is claimed theoretically to be a factor of 4.5 faster than the Miller-Rabin test. The implementation is a work in progress and there may therefore be confusing and / or missing parts of the JavaDoc documentation: JavaDoc of MR and EQFTac tests. www.daimi.au.dk /~hesel/h_eng_thesis.html   (124 words)

Experimental Results The Miller-Rabin probabilistic primality test was used to determine the next largest prime table size meeting this criterion given a target table size. To test the above hypothesis, we implemented both double hashing and the new exponential hash function. Table sizes were determined using the double prime criterion, where N=p=2t+1 is required for the exponential hash function, with p and t both prime. www.eece.unm.edu /faculty/heileman/hash/brad/node13.html   (312 words)
