Yes... so if you can quickly generate primes,
you can quickly test factoring those primes out of another number.

There was a paper to read, and it's published in the back of the book he 
just published. He's been very careful, responsible, and ethical in 
first introducing the material to insiders to begin working on 
alternate encryption methods NOT rendered useless by our new ability to 
quickly create primes.  http://www.jmccanneyscience.com/
There are MANY things not reported by the broadcast media.
...and you can say you heard it first here before the media picked it 
up, if they ever do. I personally consider it a good thing that the 
media hasn't broached this yet, as the industry quickly needs 
alternatives before most are made aware of the problem, i.e., 
the "security through obscurity" method is now in play.
