Make sure public key bit length is an even number
For an odd n-bit number, we can't find two n-1-bit numbers which multiplied gives an n-bit number. That's why public key length n must be an even number. I have also renamed AreSafePrimes to IsSafePrime since only the first function argument is considered to be a safe prime according to a safe prime definition.
