Firstly, primes are used in gcd (greatest common denominator) for encryption.
To find the greatest gcd is not possible so looking through the key for the prime is futile, as for large primes it take BIG numbers Tim, so what shows is that there is no encryption that will work anymore with numbers (virtually all) as the combination of key breaks any number based encryption.
It breaks these: https(internet secured socket layer), all DVD codes, all computer based encryption and PGP.
Basically, since you can use any public key to work out the private one in milliseconds instead of 10e32 it removes modern encryption from anything.
Do you not think that is a big deal?
