There are other "biprimes" too, isn't it? Like that girl who they talked
so much about, "her" (heard some stuff about weather it being hers or a
whole lot of people's) algorithms was basicly two primes being handled in
a matrix, to create the effect of a "RSA" algorithm but with similar
effect at few calculations.

Hope that about is rather correct.

Some something descriptive should perhaps include a prefix meaning
mutiplication. I leave the word magics up to people with better english
than me.
