(since that is what my web browser listed as a URL)

George's prime95 and its close relatives output like the following, which
includes a security string making false claims of having done an LLtest
hard to fake or at least inconvenient, as in the following example:
M4190237 is not prime. Res64: 14FC0406840D6CF3. WQ1: 2DB378F5
(exponent) (result) (residue) (SW version) (security code)
(I've changed some characters in the example, so don't bother to send it to
George!)
George's source on the web does not include the routines for the security
string
generation.
Do other programs (MacLucas, mersenne1, etc.) have a security code, or
are those results on the honor system?
