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.
