-Hi. I've generated a 2047-bit "strong" prime number that I would like to
-use with Diffie-Hellman key exchange. I assert that not only is this number
-'p' prime, but so is (p-1)/2.
-
-I've used the mpz_probab_prime() function in the Gnu Math Package (GMP) version
-1.3.2 to test this number. This function uses the Miller-Rabin primality test.
-However, to increase my confidence that this number really is a strong prime,
-I'd like to ask others to confirm it with other tests. Here's the number in hex:

-The generator, g, for this prime is 2.

-q should be prime, and ideally should be a "strong prime",
-which means it's of the form 2n+1 where n is also prime.
-q also needs to be long enough to prevent the attacks LaMacchia and
-Odlyzko described (some variant on a factoring attack which generates
-a large pile of simultaneous equations and then solves them);
-long enough is about the same size as factoring, so 512 bits may not
-be secure enough for most applications. (The 192 bits used by
-"secure NFS" was certainly not long enough.)
-
-a should be a generator for q, which means it needs to be
-relatively prime to q-1. Usually a small prime like 2, 3 or 5 will
-work.

-Since your prime is really random, proving it is hard.
-My personal limit on rigorously proved primes is ~350 digits.
-If you really want a proof, we should talk to Francois Morain,
-or the Australian group.
-
-If you want 2 to be a generator (mod P), then you need it
-to be a non-square. If (P-1)/2 is also prime, then
-non-square == primitive-root for bases << P.
-
-In the case at hand, this means 2 is a generator iff P = 11 (mod 24).
-If you want this, you should restrict your sieve accordingly.
-
-3 is a generator iff P = 5 (mod 12).
-
-5 is a generator iff P = 3 or 7 (mod 10).
-
-2 is perfectly usable as a base even if it's a non-generator, since
-it still covers half the space of possible residues. And an
-eavesdropper can always determine the low-bit of your exponent for
-a generator anyway.
