Double-Speed Safe Prime Generation

David Naccache

Abstract

Safe primes are prime numbers of the form $p=2\/q+1$ where $q$ is prime. This note introduces a simple method for doubling the speed of safe prime generation. The method is particularly suited to settings where a large number of RSA moduli must be generated.
