Finding bigger prime numbers has no impact on cryptography at all. The large prime numbers needed for cryptography are a few hundred digits long. The are generated by picking a random numbers and checking it’s neighbors for primality. The largest prime numbers that have been discovered have millions of digits. Finding a larger prime would have no effect whatsoever on our ability to quickly generate primes with a few hundred digits. |
