* We generate DH parameters as follows
- * find a prime q which is prime_len/2 bits long.
- * p=(2*q)+1 or (p-1)/2 = q
- * For this case, g is a generator if
- * g^((p-1)/q) mod p != 1 for values of q which are the factors of p-1.
- * Since the factors of p-1 are q and 2, we just need to check
- * g^2 mod p != 1 and g^q mod p != 1.
+ * find a prime p which is prime_len bits long,
+ * where q=(p-1)/2 is also prime.
+ * In the following we assume that g is not 0, 1 or p-1, since it
+ * would generate only trivial subgroups.
+ * For this case, g is a generator of the order-q subgroup if
+ * g^q mod p == 1.
+ * Or in terms of the Legendre symbol: (g/p) == 1.
*
* Having said all that,
* there is another special case method for the generators 2, 3 and 5.
- * for 2, p mod 24 == 11
- * for 3, p mod 12 == 5 <<<<< does not work for safe primes.
- * for 5, p mod 10 == 3 or 7
- *
- * Thanks to Phil Karn <karn@qualcomm.com> for the pointers about the
- * special generators and for answering some of my questions.
+ * Using the quadratic reciprocity law it is possible to solve
+ * (g/p) == 1 for the special values 2, 3, 5:
+ * (2/p) == 1 if p mod 8 == 1 or 7.
+ * (3/p) == 1 if p mod 12 == 1 or 11.
+ * (5/p) == 1 if p mod 5 == 1 or 4.
+ * See for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre_symbol
*
- * I've implemented the second simple method :-).
- * Since DH should be using a safe prime (both p and q are prime),
- * this generator function can take a very very long time to run.

-/*
- * Actually there is no reason to insist that 'generator' be a generator.
- * It's just as OK (and in some sense better) to use a generator of the
- * order-q subgroup.
+ * Since all safe primes > 7 must satisfy p mod 12 == 11
+ * and all safe primes > 11 must satisfy p mod 5 != 1
+ * we can further improve the condition for g = 2, 3 and 5:
+ * for 2, p mod 24 == 23
+ * for 3, p mod 12 == 11
+ * for 5, p mod 60 == 59
