For primes p and q for which p-1 and q-1 have no common factor <= n, probability of gcd(p, q) > 1 is very roughly 1/n.
Therefore, 1. Use strong primes as in Rivest/Silverman. Simply described, choose large primes r and s. Choose small factors i and j, gcd(i, j) = 1. Find p such that 1+2*i*r is prime and q such that 1+2*j*s is prime. Or 2. Find large primes p and q such that gcd(p^2-1, q^2-1) < 10^6.
