Several programs to implement ECPP can be found from

know about source code however. It might be interesting to run these
over some of the Oakley primes and publish the certs - I vaguely recall
seeing something like that in an RFC.
All the Oakley primes have been proven to be prime, and the
certificates are available at the
ftp://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ietf/ecpp-certificates/. Some of those number
have both ECPP and Primo certificates and the bigger primes have only
Primo certificates (primes bigger than 4096 bits).
When I was writing RFC 3526, I first planned to add those primality
proofs to the document, but as for example the proof of 8192 bit prime
is around 1.3MB, it would have made that document quite boring...
The draft of RFC 3526 used to have url reference to ftp.ssh.com, but
that it was removed by the AD during the IESG evaluation as
"references where are only URL's are problematic".
Hmmm ... better remove all references to RFCs, then! :-)
