Information about the package, perl-Crypt-Primes, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The perl-Crypt-Primes package is designed for, Provable prime number generator for cryptographic applications.
Package Name:
perl-Crypt-Primes
Summary:
Provable prime number generator for cryptographic applications
Description:
This module implements Ueli Maurer's algorithm for generating large provable primes and secure parameters for public-key cryptosystems. The generated primes are almost uniformly distributed over the set of primes of the specified bitsize and expected time for generation is less than the time required for generating a pseudo-prime of the same size with Miller-Rabin tests. Detailed description and running time analysis of the algorithm can be found in Maurer's paper, "Fast Generation of Prime Numbers and Secure Public-Key Cryptographic Parameters" (1994).

Control the perl-Crypt-Primes package with the following handy commands outlined below.
yum install perl-Crypt-Primes
This command will install perl-Crypt-Primes on the server.
yum remove perl-Crypt-Primes
This command will un-install perl-Crypt-Primes on the server. When you run this command, you will be asked if you are sure that you want to remove perl-Crypt-Primes, so you have to manually confirm that you want to do this.
yum -y remove perl-Crypt-Primes
This command will un-install perl-Crypt-Primes on the server. When you run this command with th e -y flag, you will not be prompted to check that you are sure you want to remove the package - so be sure you absolutely want to remove perl-Crypt-Primes when using the -y flag.
yum update perl-Crypt-Primes
This command will update perl-Crypt-Primes to the latest version. When you run this command, you will be asked if you are sure that you want to remove perl-Crypt-Primes, so you have to manually confirm that you want to do this.
yum -y update perl-Crypt-Primes
This command will update perl-Crypt-Primes to the latest version. When you run this command with the -y flag, you will not be prompted to check that you are sure you want to remove the package - so be sure you absolutely want to remove perl-Crypt-Primes when using the -y flag.
yum info perl-Crypt-Primes
This command will show you core information about the perl-Crypt-Primes package.
yum deplist perl-Crypt-Primes
This command will show you the dependencies for perl-Crypt-Primes. Thankfully, when using Yum, if dependencies are required, these are also installed at the same time so you don't have to worry too much about that.
yum check-update perl-Crypt-Primes
This command will check if there is an update waiting on perl-Crypt-Primes. When you run this command this will return nothing if there is nothing to update, or, will return the package name if the package is due to be updated.
