Appendix. 330 $aOn August 6, 2002,a paper with the title ?PRIMES is in P?, by M. Agrawal, N. Kayal, and N. Saxena, appeared on the website of the Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur, India. In this paper it was shown that the ?primality problem?hasa?deterministic algorithm? that runs in ?polynomial time?. Finding out whether a given number n is a prime or not is a problem that was formulated in ancient times, and has caught the interest of mathema- ciansagainandagainfor centuries. Onlyinthe 20thcentury,with theadvent of cryptographic systems that actually used large prime numbers, did it turn out to be of practical importance to be able to distinguish prime numbers and composite numbers of signi?cant size. Readily, algorithms were provided that solved the problem very e?ciently and satisfactorily for all practical purposes, and provably enjoyed a time bound polynomial in the number of digits needed to write down the input number n. The only drawback of these algorithms is that they use ?randomization? ? that means the computer that carries out the algorithm performs random experiments, and there is a slight chance that the outcome might be wrong, or that the running time might not be polynomial. To ?nd an algorithmthat gets by without rand- ness, solves the problem error-free, and has polynomial running time had been an eminent open problem in complexity theory for decades when the paper by Agrawal, Kayal, and Saxena hit the web. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Computer Science,$x1611-3349 ;$v3000 606 $aNumber theory 606 $aAlgebra 606 $aAlgorithms 606 $aComputer science 606 $aCryptography 606 $aData encryption (Computer science) 606 $aComputer science$xMathematics 606 $aMathematical statistics 606 $aNumber Theory 606 $aAlgebra 606 $aAlgorithms 606 $aTheory of Computation 606 $aCryptology 606 $aProbability and Statistics in Computer Science 615 0$aNumber theory. 615 0$aAlgebra. 615 0$aAlgorithms. 615 0$aComputer science. 615 0$aCryptography. 615 0$aData encryption (Computer science) 615 0$aComputer science$xMathematics. 615 0$aMathematical statistics. 615 14$aNumber Theory. 615 24$aAlgebra. 615 24$aAlgorithms. 615 24$aTheory of Computation. 615 24$aCryptology. 615 24$aProbability and Statistics in Computer Science. 676 $a512.942 700 $aDietzfelbinger$b Martin$0488533 912 $a9910768476103321 996 $aPrimality testing in polynomial time$9287435 997 $aUNINA
