Counting Prime Numbers with Short Binary Signed Representation

Abstract

Modular arithmetic with prime moduli has been crucial in present day cryptography. The primes of Mersenne, Solinas, Crandall and the so called IKE-MODP have been extensively used in efficient implementations. In this paper we study the density of primes with binary signed representation involving a small number of non-zero $\pm 1$-digits.
