Ellipsa - Elliptic Curve Primality Proving Primo, a primality proving program based on the ECPP algorithm. With Primo one can check crypto-primes and prove whether or not they are actually prime. http://www.ellipsa.net/ Goldbach's Conjecture and Factoring the Cryptographic Modulus Algebraic Factoring of the Cryptography Modulus and Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture http://findprimenumbers.coolissues.com/goldbach.htm The Prime Pages Prof. Chris Caldwell's database of virtually every large or otherwise interesting prime number known; includes the 5,000 largest known prime numbers and records for specific types. http://www.utm.edu/research/primes/ RSA Security - Challenges Monetary prizes for factoring certain large numbers ("RSA Numbers"), as well as breaking RSA and DES encryption schemes; announcements mailing list. http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2091 distributed.net A distributed computing project currently trying to take the RSA challenge of RC5-64, and also working on OGR-24 and 25 (Optimal Golomb Rulers). Previous projects included CSC and DES. http://www.distributed.net/ Generalized Fermat Primes Search Project provides software to search for primes of a specific form. Coordinated via email. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/yves.gallot/primes/index.html Electronic Frontier Foundation Cash prizes for discovery of very large prime numbers through Cooperative Computing Awards program. http://www.eff.org/coop-awards/ Calculating Pi Investigates and implements algorithms which may yield to distributed computation of the mathematical constant Pi. http://projectpi.sourceforge.net/ Factoring Lucas numbers (GMP-ECM) Project to factorize Fibonacci and Lucas numbers using the ECM algorithm. http://www.1202.org:81/ The Riesel Sieve Project Distributed project to help solve the Riesel problem through the use of donated unused CPU cycles. http://www.rieselsieve.com/ ECMNET Project to factor numbers using the elliptic curve method. Client and server software. http://www.loria.fr/~zimmerma/records/ecmnet.html The Prime Sierpinski Problem Mathematical project to find the smallest prime Sierpinski number. http://www.geocities.com/eharsh82/ Seventeen Or Bust A distributed attack on the Sierpinski problem, trying to find the last remaining 17 numbers. http://www.seventeenorbust.com Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search Online search for Mersenne prime numbers, found largest several primes. http://www.mersenne.org/ Search for the Largest Proth Prime An internet group to help find the 5th largest prime number, coordinated by William Garnett. Windows/Linux software available. http://www.people.iup.edu/vmrf/ MM61 Attempt at factoring the huge Mersenne number 2^(2^61-1)-1. Software for Windows, DOS and Linux.
