“Again, to be perfectly clear, we are looking for c values that produce a low density of semiprimes when employing Euler's basic polynomial but changing the c values, in the range of x=1 to 10000. Some very early standouts are: c=4 which produces 799 semiprimes; c=6 which produces 532 semiprimes; c=12 which produces only 431 semiprimes; c=18 which produces 364 semiprimes, and c=30 which produces only 320 semiprimes.”

“2015, Jie Wang, Zachary A. Kissel, Introduction to Network Security: Theory and Practice, Wiley [under licence from Higher Education Press], page 113, Firstly, we should change semiprimes from time to time, where a particular semiprime should only be used in a time interval shorter than the time required to factor an RSA challenge number of a similar length. Secondly, we should use semiprimes that consist of more than 200 decimal digits.”

“In this paper I will define four sequences of numbers obtained through concatenation, definitions which also use the notion of “sum of the digits of a number”, sequences that have the property to produce many primes, semiprimes and products of very few prime factors.”
