Elliptic curve prime proofs for the 578 primes in Appendix A but not in Appendix B. (2.7M bytes) The proofs were done (by Wagstaff) using the ECPP program of François Morain. The proof summaries list the sequence of successively smaller primes that appear as orders of points on the elliptic curves.
