Source[det]crypto_generate_prime(+N, -P, +Options)
Generate a prime P with at least N bits. Options is a list of options. Currently, the only supported option is:
safe(Boolean)
If Boolean is true (default is false), then a safe prime is generated. This means that P is of the form 2*Q + 1 where Q is also prime.
