.... 1 is called a witness to the compositeness of n if a u ## 1 mod n and a 2 i u ## 1 mod n for i with 0 # i t: For odd composite n and a randomly selected a # 2; 3; n 1 there is a probability of at least 75 that a is witness to the compositeness of n, as shown in [97]. It follows that in practice the compositeness of any composite n can eciently be proved: Probabilistic compositeness test Let n be an odd positive number, and let k be a positive integer. Randomly and independently select at most k values a # 2; 3; n 1 until an a is found that ....

In the context of space bounded computation, it was shown in [HS68] that at least logarithmic space ....

....tests that can quickly determine if a given large number is prime with a certain confidence. One such test is the Rabin Miller probabilistic primality test. 2. Features of The Rabin Miller Probabilistic Primality Algorithm The Rabin Miller probabilistic primality test was developed by Rabin [3], based on Miller s [4] ideas. This algorithm provides a fast method of determining the primality of a number with a controllably small probability of error. The algorithm is described below. 2.1. The Rabin Miller Probabilistic Primality Algorithm Given (b,n) where n is the number to test for ....
....n is the number to test for primality, and b is randomly chosen in [1, n 1] Let n 1 = 2 q m, where m is an odd integer. If either (a) b m # 1 (mod n) or (b) there is an integer i in [0, q 1] such that b m2 i # 1 (mod n) then return inconclusive# else return n is composite. # Rabin [3], shows that the algorithm has the characteristic that for a composite number, n, at most 1 4 of the bases, b, will result in inconclusive.# The interpretation of the result inconclusive# is that so far the number n is acting as a prime (i.e. n may be prime) This characteristic is described ....
