PROVABLEPRIME Version 1.1.2, Generation of provable primes with
Maurer's algorithm, with illustrative coding of RSA encryption (with
authentication) and digital signature for sequences of fixed-sized
plaintext blocks and RSA pseudo-random bit generation, has been
released:

http://s13.zetaboards.com/Crypto/topic/7234475/1/

It is presumably the final polished-up version of PROVABLEPRIME.

There is to my knowledge currently no other open-source implementation
of Maurer's algorithm in any other popular programming language. The
demonstration, that digital signatures can be done with RSA alone, i.e.
without additionally employing hashing, appears also to be unique.
