""" This script implements the Solovay-Strassen Primality test. This probabilistic primality test is based on Euler's criterion. It is similar to the Fermat test but uses quadratic residues. It can quickly identify composite numbers but may occasionally classify composite numbers as prime. More details and concepts about this can be found on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solovay%E2%80%93Strassen_primality_test """ import random def jacobi_symbol(random_a: int, number: int) -> int: """ Calculate the Jacobi symbol. The Jacobi symbol is a generalization of the Legendre symbol, which can be used to simplify computations involving quadratic residues. The Jacobi symbol is used in primality tests, like the Solovay-Strassen test, because it helps determine if an integer is a quadratic residue modulo a given modulus, providing valuable information about the number's potential primality or compositeness. Parameters: random_a: A randomly chosen integer from 2 to n-2 (inclusive) number: The number that is tested for primality Returns: jacobi_symbol: The Jacobi symbol is a mathematical function used to determine whether an integer is a quadratic residue modulo another integer (usually prime) or not. >>> jacobi_symbol(2, 13) -1 >>> jacobi_symbol(5, 19) 1 >>> jacobi_symbol(7, 14) 0 """ if random_a in (0, 1): return random_a random_a %= number t = 1 while random_a != 0: while random_a % 2 == 0: random_a //= 2 r = number % 8 if r in (3, 5): t = -t random_a, number = number, random_a if random_a % 4 == number % 4 == 3: t = -t random_a %= number return t if number == 1 else 0 def solovay_strassen(number: int, iterations: int) -> bool: """ Check whether the input number is prime or not using the Solovay-Strassen Primality test Parameters: number: The number that is tested for primality iterations: The number of times that the test is run which effects the accuracy Returns: result: True if number is probably prime and false if not >>> random.seed(10) >>> solovay_strassen(13, 5) True >>> solovay_strassen(9, 10) False >>> solovay_strassen(17, 15) True """ if number <= 1: return False if number <= 3: return True for _ in range(iterations): a = random.randint(2, number - 2) x = jacobi_symbol(a, number) y = pow(a, (number - 1) // 2, number) if x == 0 or y != x % number: return False return True if __name__ == "__main__": import doctest doctest.testmod()
