Abstract
A device may receive a set of cryptographic parameters associated with an integer, wherein the set of cryptographic parameters includes a linked list of potential prime integers, in an order, used to generate the integer. The device may determine, iteratively and in the order, whether each potential prime integer included in the linked list of potential prime integers is a prime integer using a primality test or a lookup operation based on a set of proven prime integers. The device may determine whether the integer is a proven prime integer based on determining whether each potential prime integer included in the linked list of potential prime integers is a prime integer. The device may authorize, when the integer is a proven prime integer, the integer for use in a cryptographic protocol.
