Wrong.
Military does not use "products of numbers" for encryption, they use
entirely different techniques, factoring is not used.

No problem, factoring is not used in stock trading, figuring perhaps,
complex algorithums, but no factoring.

rest easy, JSH, the Nations of the world use different techniques and far
longer codes than us civilians do, it is easy with memory being cheap, and
processing power
