The recent breakthrough on the 'crank' is claimed to have implications on cryptography:
http://www.math.wisc.edu/~ono/mahlburg.html >Though the math itself quickly becomes a thorny tangle to the lay person, >the broad outlines of Mahlburg's work can be understood and appreciated >as well as a few of its implications, though it is early to discern many. Such work, >Ono said, can have important applications in number-related fields such as cryptology. Can someone on this list help describe the possible implications?
