Abstract
Generating primes is a fundamental problem in modern cryptography. Deterministic primality tests work well for special integers such as Mersenne or Proth primes, but these forms are quite restrictive. In this paper, we give a direct method to construct new primes from known ones. Starting with a seed prime , we construct an integer satisfying . We then prove that is prime using the structure of monogenic pure cubic fields . The resulting test requires only a single modular exponentiation and runs in time. Finally, we show how this construction extends to pure number fields of arbitrary prime degree.
