The Prime Number Code

The video explains the significance of prime numbers in encryption. Prime numbers, which are only divisible by themselves and one, are crucial for encoding information securely. While multiplying prime numbers is straightforward, reversing the process to find the original factors is complex, making it ideal for encryption. The video highlights the difficulty of breaking encryption codes, even with advanced computing power, due to the large size of numbers involved.
