Impact of PRIMES in P
Because primality testing can now be done deterministically in polynomial time using the AKS primality test, a prime number could itself be considered a certificate of its own primality.

In practice this method of verification is more expensive than the verification of Pratt certificates, but does not require any computation to determine the certificate itself.
