Comment (by nbruin):
Replying to [comment:26 vbraun]:
> So for a poor physicist like me, how exactly should we go about testing
(probabilistically, but with very low probability of failure comparable to
the probability in ECM) that a number is not composite. Is that already
implemented somewhere in Sage? Rabin-Miller with some particular list of
witnesses?
I'd expect it to be available somewhere, yes, at the very least in
PARI/GP. Baillie-PSW seems to be particularly bullet-proof (in the physics
sense), with no known pseudo-primes. Finding a counterexample could raise
some money for the sage foundation.
