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?

Hi,
Mr. Shankar it was nice to hear to you and your thoughts.It's interesting to know that this list of all prime numbers are used for encrypted value and being used for authentication .Thanks for it .
