In number theory, a Wagstaff prime is a prime number of the form 2 p + 1 3 {\displaystyle {{2^{p}+1} \over 3}} where p is an odd prime. Wagstaff primes are named after the mathematician Samuel S. Wagstaff Jr.; the prime pages credit François Morain for naming them in a lecture at the Eurocrypt 1990 conference.
