Tom St Denis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has a program that constructs provable primes, by bootstrapping them from smaller proven primes. The trouble is that his stuff is off the air at the moment. You might write to him, though. It's pretty quick, IIRC.

However, I don't seen any primality proof certificates included in the
texts.

RFC 2412 looks good, however, as you say, no certificates are included, nor is it made clear that (p-1)/2 has been proven.


I-Ds are less useful to me, since I can't give a long-term reference for them :-(

Thanks!
