=head1 NAME
BN_generate_prime, BN_is_prime, BN_is_prime_fasttest - generate primes and test for primality
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bn.h>
BIGNUM *BN_generate_prime(BIGNUM *ret, int num, int safe, BIGNUM *add,
BIGNUM *rem, void (*callback)(int, int, void *), void *cb_arg);
int BN_is_prime(const BIGNUM *a, int checks, void (*callback)(int, int,
void *), BN_CTX *ctx, void *cb_arg);
int BN_is_prime_fasttest(const BIGNUM *a, int checks,
void (*callback)(int, int, void *), BN_CTX *ctx, void *cb_arg,
int do_trial_division);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
BN_generate_prime() generates a pseudo-random prime number of B<num>
bits.
If B<ret> is not B<NULL>, it will be used to store the number.
If B<callback> is not B<NULL>, it is called as follows:
=over 4
=item *
B<callback(0, i, cb_arg)> is called after generating the i-th
potential prime number.
=item *
While the number is being tested for primality, B<callback(1, j,
cb_arg)> is called as described below.
=item *
When a prime has been found, B<callback(2, i, cb_arg)> is called.
=back
The prime may have to fulfill additional requirements for use in
Diffie-Hellman key exchange:
If B<add> is not B<NULL>, the prime will fulfill the condition p % B<add>
== B<rem> (p % B<add> == 1 if B<rem> == B<NULL>) in order to suit a given
generator.
If B<safe> is true, it will be a safe prime (i.e. a prime p so
that (p-1)/2 is also prime).
The PRNG must be seeded prior to calling BN_generate_prime().
The prime number generation has a negligible error probability.
BN_is_prime() and BN_is_prime_fasttest() test if the number B<a> is
prime. The following tests are performed until one of them shows that
B<a> is composite; if B<a> passes all these tests, it is considered
prime.
BN_is_prime_fasttest(), when called with B<do_trial_division == 1>,
first attempts trial division by a number of small primes;
if no divisors are found by this test and B<callback> is not B<NULL>,
B<callback(1, -1, cb_arg)> is called.
If B<do_trial_division == 0>, this test is skipped.
Both BN_is_prime() and BN_is_prime_fasttest() perform a Miller-Rabin
probabilistic primality test with B<checks> iterations. If
B<checks == BN_prime_checks>, a number of iterations is used that
yields a false positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
If B<callback> is not B<NULL>, B<callback(1, j, cb_arg)> is called
after the j-th iteration (j = 0, 1, ...). B<ctx> is a
pre-allocated B<BN_CTX> (to save the overhead of allocating and
freeing the structure in a loop), or B<NULL>.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
BN_generate_prime() returns the prime number on success, B<NULL> otherwise.
BN_is_prime() returns 0 if the number is composite, 1 if it is
prime with an error probability of less than 0.25^B<checks>, and
-1 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.

=head1 HISTORY
The B<cb_arg> arguments to BN_generate_prime() and to BN_is_prime()
were added in SSLeay 0.9.0. The B<ret> argument to BN_generate_prime()
was added in SSLeay 0.9.1.
BN_is_prime_fasttest() was added in OpenSSL 0.9.5.
