There is an interesting article in the New Scientist about attempts to
prove the Reimann Hypothesis.  Alain Connes is one of the people
mentioned; he's working on a method based on quantum chaos.  The article
doesn't mention cryptography, oddly, among the fields that might be
effected if the hypothesis is proven.
