What are OpenSSL Primes?
OpenSSL primes are numbers that have hundreds of digits and can be multiplied by another OpenSSL prime to make a key that is very hard to crack. An example with 512 bit primes is 11123690372694967046031499915922244211058956303425812394037539643932543891712061290109066243007674526490847335855102730757835418530481688489775119868702607 * 10172583180678887674877071253469019003299244975782100116997519332401930662855137454025738401891417107995987771564949702615444109173657065582853035036266469 = 113156665592356489336285670142649845463389713449849727675292539340797754840819747344137234450122926221350208406832468104722372356749856616107461774966411954516542051714479792104309183944556650823667342648242171996046920597575466819172590342488774358246412421625976666444493638941977883112657204051832166984683.

Why primes?
Prime numbers are fairly easy to generate and very easy to multiply, but they are exceedingly difficult to factor without a sufficiently powerful quantum computer.

Sorry, there are no sources because this article is from my own memory and has no other info. (Note: these primes were generated with the command "openssl prime -generate -bits 512")
