Abstract

In this paper we present a probabilistic polynomial-timealgorithm for generating a large prime p such thatφ m (p 2) hasa large prime factor, where φ m (x ) is the m φ th cyclotomicpolynomial and m = 3 or m = 6. An unconditionallypolynomial time algorithm for generating primes of the above formis not yet known. Generating primes of such form is essential forthe GH and the CEILIDH Public Key Systems, since they are keyparameters in these cryptosystems.
