miller-rabin

What is miller-rabin?

The miller-rabin npm package is a JavaScript implementation of the Miller-Rabin probabilistic primality test. This package is used to determine whether a given number is a probable prime. It is particularly useful in cryptographic applications where large prime numbers are required.

What are miller-rabin's main functionalities?

Primality Testing

This feature allows users to test if a number is a probable prime using the Miller-Rabin test. The example shows how to test if the number 17 is a probable prime.

const MillerRabin = require('miller-rabin');
const mr = new MillerRabin();
const probablePrime = mr.test(BigInt(17));
console.log(probablePrime); // outputs true

Other packages similar to miller-rabin

bignum

The 'bignum' package provides arbitrary-precision arithmetic operations, including primality testing. It offers similar functionality for primality testing but also includes a broader range of arithmetic operations, making it more versatile than miller-rabin.

prime-number

The 'prime-number' package is another tool for checking the primality of numbers. Unlike miller-rabin, which uses a probabilistic test, 'prime-number' uses deterministic tests for smaller numbers and switches to probabilistic tests for larger numbers, potentially offering a different balance of performance and accuracy.
