A Probable Prime Test With High Confidence

Abstract

Monier and Rabin proved that an odd composite can pass the Strong Probable Prime Test for at most 14\frac 14 of the possible bases. In this paper, a probable prime test is developed using quadratic polynomials and the Frobenius automorphism. The test, along with a fixed number of trial divisions, ensures that a composite nn will pass for less than 17710\frac 1{7710} of the polynomials x2bxcx^2-bx-c with (b2+4cn)=1\left(b^2+4c\over n\right)=-1 and (cn)=1\left(-c\over n\right)=1. The running time of the test is asymptotically 33 times that of the Strong Probable Prime Test.
