I see that you're entirely correct. I've read about half of Scheiner's
applied cryptography, and I'm familiar with the fact that current
algorithms' strength is based on factoring large primes, and familiar
with his estimates of 10^11 years for a 112 bit key, (given the caveat
of no new scifi c

You know not whereof you speak.

We do pretty good already don't

People break cyphers by
1) cryptoanalysis (mostly brain, a bit of muscle)
2) brute force (no brain at all, pure muscle)
So

As Tim pointed out, barring some incredible breakthrough, such systems are
unlikely to affect cryptography at all. You may be interested to see that
