Miller's test

Should the generalized Riemann hypothesis be proved, the following would gives us a powerful test for primality.

Millers Test: Assume the generalized Riemann hypothesis is true. If n is an a-SPRP for all integers a with 1 < a < 2(log n)2, then n is prime.

The constant 2 (which will no doubt be improved) is due to Bach.
