Haha, wonder what made you think "real life applications of prime numbers" :D

But prime numbers are typically used for encryption of data in real life.. Again those would involve really large primes which I am sure most of us won't be aware of. Primes typically don't follow a particular pattern and hence very difficult to crack when used as codes. You working in networking by any chance to come up with that question?
