Abstract
For an elliptic curve with CM by defined over its Hilbert class field, , we extend Lenstra's finite fields test to generators of norms of certain ideals in , yielding a sufficient primality test and partially answering an open question of Lemmermeyer in the case of CM elliptic curves. Letting , prime, and a primitive -th root of unity modulo we specialize this test to rational integers of the form with the norm of small, giving a Las Vegas test for primality with average runtime , that further certifies primality of such integers in for nearly all choices of input parameters. The integers tested were not previously amenable to quasi-quadratic heuristic primality certification.
