title: How many prime numbers are there (available for RSA encryption)?
body: <p>Am I mistaken in thinking that the security of RSA encryption, in general, is limited by the amount of known prime numbers?</p>
  
  <p>To crack (or create) a private key, one has to combine the right pair of prime numbers.</p>
  
  <p>Is it impossible to publish a list of all the prime numbers in the range used by RSA? Or is that list sufficiently large to make this brute force attack unlikely? Wouldn't there be "commonly used" prime numbers?</p>
