|  | 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: | ||

|  | 56a05180c3bec7ddd5ef6fe76b1f717b | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | The generator, g, for this prime is 2. | ||
