- This module implements Ueli Maurer's algorithm for generating large
- provable primes and secure parameters for public-key cryptosystems. The
- generated primes are almost uniformly distributed over the set of primes of
- the specified bitsize and expected time for generation is less than the time
- required for generating a pseudo-prime of the same size with Miller-Rabin
- tests.
- Crypt::Primes is a pure perl implementation. It uses Math::Pari for
- multiple precision integer arithmetic and number theoretic functions.
- Random numbers are gathered with Crypt::Random, a perl interface to
- /dev/arandom device found on most modern Unix operating systems.
