Compositeness CertificateA compositeness certificate is a piece of information which guarantees that a given number is Composite. Possiblecertificates consist of a Factor of a number (which, in general, is much quicker to check by direct division thanto determine initially), or of the determination that either
(i.e., violates Fermat's Little Theorem), or
A quantity satisfying either property is said to be a Witness to 's compositeness.See also Adleman-Pomerance-Rumely Primality Test, Fermat's Little Theorem, Miller's Primality Test,Primality Certificate, Witness
