In this chapter we show how to apply Fermat numbers to generate infinitely many pseudoprimes and superpseudoprimes. To define pseudoprimes and superpseudoprimes, we will need to make use of Fermat’s little theorem which is a centerpiece of number theory. It gives a fundamental property of primes and is the basis of most tests for primality.
