Sounds like a misunderstanding. You were the first one to mention public key cryptography in this thread. citizen's comments were directly concerning Junior89's algorithm.

No, we are talking about "modern cryptography". If you wanted to talk about public key encryption, then you should have said so, but Junior89's algorithm clearly is not public key cryptography.
...
Of course, there is the caveat of "current and near future technology", otherwise quantum computing and the like would make "complexity theoretic" cryptography obsolete. In that sense, I would argue...
Would not such small primes become a weakness (e.g., allowing brute force attacks)?
I do not know if the U.S. government uses public key cryptography for more than things like key exchange, but...
That sounds more applicable to public cryptography to me, where the keys would be more likely be 1024 bits or larger primes (or probable primes). For example, I think Twofish uses XOR quite...
