  1. The number 2p + 1 associated with a Sophie Germain prime is called a safe prime. For example, 11 is a Sophie Germain prime and 2 × 11 + 1 = 23 is its associated safe prime. Sophie Germain primes and safe primes have applications in public key cryptography and primality testing.

  3. A prime is said to be a Sophie Germain prime if both and are prime. The first few Sophie Germain primes are 2, 3, 5, 11, 23, 29, 41, 53, 83, 89, 113, 131, ... (OEIS A005384 ). It is not known if there are an infinite number of Sophie Germain primes (Hoffman 1998, p. 190).

  4. Jun 14, 2017 · The original primes that yielded new primes in this fashion are called “Sophie Germain Primes” (e.g. 2, 3, 5, 11), a set of numbers whose discovery is credited to Sophie. In general, a Sophie Germain Prime is defined as a prime “s” such that (2 × s) + 1 is also a prime. Figure 1: Summary of the different categories of integer numbers ...

  5. Germain considered primes related to p, so-called auxiliary primes. The existence of such can be used to show that solutions to xp + yp = zp must have certain properties. Definition 6.1. Let p be an odd prime. An auxiliary prime to p is any prime of the form q = 2kp + 1 where k 2 N.
