In this paper we generalize the classical Proth’s theorem and the Miller-Rabin test for integers of the form N = K p n + 1 N=Kp^n+1 . For these families, we present variations on the classical Pocklington’s results and, in particular, a primality test whose computational complexity is O ~ ( log 2 ⁔ N ) \widetilde {O}(\log ^2 N) and, what is more important, that requires only one modular exponentiation modulo N N similar to that of Fermat’s test.
