Abstract

Prime number plays a very important role in cryptography. There are various types of prime numbers and consists various properties. This paper gives the detail description of the importance of prime numbers in cryptography and algorithms which generates large/strong prime numbers. This paper also focuses on algorithms which find prime factors and tests whether the entered number is prime number or not.
