Detailed Description

Generator of prime numbers of special forms.

Definition at line 263 of file nbtheory.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PrimeAndGenerator() [1/2]

PrimeAndGenerator::PrimeAndGenerator ( signed int  delta, RandomNumberGenerator &  rng, unsigned int  pbits  )

inline

Construct a PrimeAndGenerator.

Parameters

delta	+1 or -1
rng	a RandomNumberGenerator derived class
pbits	the number of bits in the prime p

PrimeAndGenerator() generates a random prime p of the form 2*q+delta, where delta is 1 or -1 and q is also prime. Internally the constructor calls Generate(delta, rng, pbits, pbits-1).

Precondition

pbits > 5

Warning

This PrimeAndGenerator() is slow because primes of this form are harder to find.

Definition at line 277 of file nbtheory.h.

PrimeAndGenerator() [2/2]

PrimeAndGenerator::PrimeAndGenerator ( signed int  delta, RandomNumberGenerator &  rng, unsigned int  pbits, unsigned  qbits  )

inline

Construct a PrimeAndGenerator.

Parameters

delta	+1 or -1
rng	a RandomNumberGenerator derived class
pbits	the number of bits in the prime p
qbits	the number of bits in the prime q

PrimeAndGenerator() generates a random prime p of the form 2*r*q+delta, where q is also prime. Internally the constructor calls Generate(delta, rng, pbits, qbits).

Precondition

qbits > 4 && pbits > qbits

Member Function Documentation

Generate()

void PrimeAndGenerator::Generate	(	signed int	delta,
		RandomNumberGenerator &	rng,
		unsigned int	pbits,
		unsigned	qbits
	)

Generate a Prime and Generator.

Parameters

delta	+1 or -1
rng	a RandomNumberGenerator derived class
pbits	the number of bits in the prime p
qbits	the number of bits in the prime q

Generate() generates a random prime p of the form 2*r*q+delta, where q is also prime.

Prime()

const Integer& PrimeAndGenerator::Prime ( ) const

inline

Retrieve first prime.

Returns

Prime() returns the prime p.

Definition at line 301 of file nbtheory.h.

SubPrime()

const Integer& PrimeAndGenerator::SubPrime ( ) const

inline

Retrieve second prime.

Returns

SubPrime() returns the prime q.

Definition at line 305 of file nbtheory.h.

Generator()

const Integer& PrimeAndGenerator::Generator ( ) const

inline

Retrieve the generator.

Returns

Generator() returns the generator g.
