Though the factor-checking like verification won't work for “this number is prime” the same as it will for “this number is not prime”. A test that results in saying a number is prime doesn't output any factors to test because if such existed the number would not be prime.

I'll have to read up on the certification/verification process to comment any further though.

It does work that way, just not as straightforwardly.
