prime proofs

See, for example, Dick Lehmer's 1933 paper "Hunting Big Game in the Theory of Numbers", where he describes proving primality for a 19 digit divisor of 2^95+1. It's on my web page at http://www.cs.arizona.edu/~rcs/biggame4 Or see Math. Comp. in the early 1970s for examples with more depth in the recursions.

moving Crypto?
It's time to consider moving the annual Crypto conference out of Santa Barbara. The obvious places are Vancouver, Toronto, or Mexico. I know zilch about these places as conference venues. Could someone knowledgable summarize the relative merits? Rich Schroeppel [EMAIL PROTECTED] - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
