/* #define STRONGPRIMES *//* if defined, generate "strong" primes for key */
/*
 *"Strong" primes are no longer advantageous, due to the new 
 * elliptical curve method of factoring.  Randomly selected primes 
 * are as good as any.  See "Factoring", by Duncan A. Buell, Journal 
 * of Supercomputing 1 (1987), pages 191-216.
 * This justifies disabling the lengthy search for strong primes.
 *
 * The advice about strong primes in the early RSA literature applies
 * to 256-bit moduli where the attacks were the Pollard rho and P-1
 * factoring algorithms.  Later developments in factoring have entirely
 * supplanted these methods.  The later algorithms are always faster
 * (so we need bigger primes), and don't care about STRONGPRIMES.
 *
 * The early literature was saying that you can get away with small
 * moduli if you choose the primes carefully.  The later developments
 * say you can't get away with small moduli, period.  And it doesn't
 * matter how you choose the primes.
 *
 * It's just taking a heck of a long time for the advice on "strong primes"
 * to disappear from the books.  Authors keep going back to the original
 * documents and repeating what they read there, even though it's out
 * of date.

#define BLUM
/* If BLUM is defined, this looks for prines congruent to 3 modulo 4.
   The product of two of these is a Blum integer.  You can uniquely define
   a square root Cmodulo a Blum integer, which leads to some extra
   possibilities for encryption algorithms.  This shrinks the key space by
   2 bits, which is not considered significant.

 * This routine tests p for primality by applying Fermat's theorem:
 * For any x, if ((x**(p-1)) mod p) != 1, then p is not prime.
 * By trying a few values for x, we can determine if p is "probably" prime.
 *
 * Because this test is so slow, it is recommended that p be sieved first
 * to weed out numbers that are obviously not prime.
 *
 * Contrary to what you may have read in the literature, empirical evidence
 * shows this test weeds out a LOT more than 50% of the composite candidates
 * for each trial x.  Each test catches nearly all the composites.
 *
 * Some people have questioned whether four Fermat tests is sufficient.
 * See "Finding Four Million Large Random Primes", by Ronald Rivest,
 * in Advancess in Cryptology: Proceedings of Crypto '91.  He used a
 * small-divisor test similar to PGP's, then a Fermat test to the base 2,
 * and then 8 iterarions of a Miller-Rabin test.  About 718 million random
 * 256-bit integers were generated, 43,741,404 passed the small divisor test,
 * 4,058,000 passed the Fermat test, and all 4,058,000 passed all 8
 * iterations of the Miller-Rabin test, proving their primality beyond most
 * reasonable doubts.  This is strong experimental evidence that the odds
 * of getting a non-prime are less than one in a million (10^-6).
 *
 * He also gives a theoretical argument that the chances of finding a
 * 256-bit non-prime which satisfies one Fermat test to the base 2 is less
 * than 10^-22.  The small divisor test improves this number, and if the
 * numbers are 512 bits (as needed for a 1024-bit key) the odds of failure
 * shrink to about 10^-44.  Thus, he concludes, for practical purposes one
 * Fermat test to the base 2 is sufficient.

   Fast prime sieving algorithm by Philip Zimmermann, March 1987.
   This is the fastest algorithm I know of for quickly sieving for 
   large (hundreds of bits in length) "random" probable primes, because 
   it uses only single-precision (16-bit) arithmetic.  Because rigorous 
   prime testing algorithms are very slow, it is recommended that 
   potential prime candidates be quickly passed through this fast 
   sieving algorithm first to weed out numbers that are obviously not 
   prime.

   This algorithm is optimized to search sequentially for a large prime 
   from a random starting point.  For generalized nonsequential prime 
   testing, the slower  conventional sieve should be used, as given 
   in primetest(p).

   This algorithm requires a fixed table (called primetable) of the 
   first hundred or so small prime numbers. 
   First we select a random odd starting point (p) for our prime 
   search.  Then we build a table of 16-bit remainders calculated 
   from that initial p.  This table of 16-bit remainders is exactly 
   the same length as the table of small 16-bit primes.  Each 
   remainders table entry contains the remainder of p divided by the 
   corresponding primetable entry.  Then we begin sequentially testing 
   all odd integers, starting from the initial odd random p.  The 
   distance we have searched from the huge random starting point p is 
   a small 16-bit number, pdelta.  If pdelta plus a remainders table 
   entry is evenly divisible by the corresponding primetable entry, 
   then p+pdelta is factorable by that primetable entry, which means 
   p+pdelta is not prime.
 */

   by Charles W. Merritt  July 15, 1989, refined by PRZ.

   These are notes on computing the square root the manual old-fashioned 
   way.  This is the basis of the fast sqrt algorithm mp_sqrt below:

   1)   Separate the number into groups (periods) of two digits each,
   beginning with units or at the decimal point.
   2)   Find the greatest perfect square in the left hand period & write 
   its  square root as the first figure of the required root.  Subtract
   the square of this number from the left hand period.  Annex to the
   remainder the next group so as to form a dividend.
   3)   Double the root already found and write it as a partial divisor at 
   the left of the new dividend.  Annex one zero digit, making a trial 
   divisor, and divide the new dividend by the trial divisor.
   4)   Write the quotient in the root as the trial term and also substitute 
   this quotient for the annexed zero digit in the partial divisor, 
   making the latter complete.
   5)   Multiply the complete divisor by the figure just obtained and, 
   if possible, subtract the product from the last remainder.
   If this product is too large, the trial term of the quotient
   must be replaced by the next smaller number and the operations
   preformed as before.
   (IN BINARY, OUR TRIAL TERM IS ALWAYS 1 AND WE USE IT OR DO NOTHING.)
   6)   Proceed in this manner until all periods are used.
   If there is still a remainder, it's not a perfect square.
