One of the wonderfully enjoyable things about knowing a bit of maths is that you get to read about people rediscovering elements of previously-secret cryptography. Link is to the rebuttal, scroll to top.

Most of crypto for the last while has been based on the asymmetric difficulty of two items of the same maths operation

p = prime1

q = prime2

result = p * q

asymmetry 1 : it is very easy to check that a number multiplied by result involved p and q, assuming you know them already.

asymmetry 2: it is very hard to work out what p and q are if you only see the result term, mostly because they're [a] prime and [b] big.
