Effective Hybrid Algorithm For Generating Large Prime Numbers
Keywords:
Prime number, primality test, Miller–Rabin,, random number generation, cryptographyAbstract
This article addresses the problem of generating large prime numbers. Due to the high computational complexity of traditional methods, their efficiency remains low. Therefore, the paper analyzes existing approaches and proposes a new hybrid algorithm, based on algebraic and probabilistic tests. The proposed method demonstrates the ability to generate prime numbers quickly and reliably. The results are compared across different bit lengths (256, 512, 1024, 2048 bits) using experimental data, and the efficiency of the algorithm is presented. The research outcomes have practical significance for generating secure keys in public-key cryptosystems (e.g., RSA).
