The recent breakthrough on the 'crank' is claimed to have implications
on cryptography:

>Though the math itself quickly becomes a thorny tangle to the lay
person,=20
>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,=20
>Ono said, can have important applications in number-related fields such
as cryptology.

Can someone on this list help describe the possible implications?
