A self-contained treatment of theoretically and practically important
efficient algorithms for the primality problem. The text covers the
randomized algorithms by Solovay-Strassen and Miller-Rabin from the late
1970s as well as the recent deterministic algorithm of Agrawal, Kayal
and Saxena. The volume is written for students of computer science, in
particular those with a special interest in cryptology, and students of
mathematics, and it may be used as a supplement for courses or for
self-study.
