Adleman-Pomerance-Rumely Primality Test

A modified Miller's Primality Test which gives a guarantee of Primality or Compositeness. The Algorithm's running time for a number $N$ has been proved to be as ${\mathcal O}((\ln N)^{c\ln\ln\ln N})$ for some $c>0$. It was simplified by Cohen and Lenstra (1984), implemented by Cohen and Lenstra (1987), and subsequently optimized by Bosma and van der Hulst (1990).
