Also nice books and "must-have" to read if you are interested in
random numbers and primes are:
  
 [1]  Donald E. Knuth  
      The Art of Computer Programming
      Volume 2
      Seminumerical Algorithms
      
 [2]  Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest
      Introduction to Algorithms

In [1] you will find a complete chapter about random numbers and a nice
section about factoring into primes.
In [2] there is a section about RSA, a section about primality testing and
a section about integer factorization.
Beside these points the noted books provide a nice source about all kinds
of intersting stuff. But be warned, especially [1] is not to read in the
train or durring a coffee break.
