+This module implements Ueli Maurer's algorithm for generating large provable
+primes and secure parameters for public-key cryptosystems. The generated
+primes are almost uniformly distributed over the set of primes of the
+specified bitsize and expected time for generation is less than the time
+required for generating a pseudo-prime of the same size with Miller-Rabin
+tests.
