Directory ftp://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ietf/ecpp-certificates contains ecpp certificates for IKE primes (768, 1024, 1536, 2048, 3072, 4096, 6144, 8192 bit Diffie-Hellman groups), i.e proven Sophie-Germain primes. The ikeprime-xxxx.txt is the prime itself and the ikeprime-xxx{,-primo}-certificate.txt is the certificate for it. I used two different programs to prove those primes primo and ecpp. The primo was faster, thus bigger groups are only proven by that. There is also certificates for (p - 1) / 2, but those are mostly redundant as most certificates starts with N-1 test, which will actually proves the (p - 1) / 2 also. > By "sensibly sized" I mean in the range 512-8192 bits.
