My computer contains the prime factorization of probably several dozen (if not more) large integers, and I refuse to share them with anyone!
(Because they are my private RSA keys)

Why are you still using RSA?
Where else are you going to keep your large primes?
It is easier to trust what you can understand.
I'm convinced that all the quantum talk is the NSA propaganda to convince us to drop RSA and move to some secure post quantum algorithm that they can easily break.
The NSA did indeed try that, and some federal honeypots adopted quantum-only crypto, but everyone else is using hybrid - you need to break both sides.
Unless the implementation is flawed…
Wait what ? Does nobody use RSA anymore ?
ECC is much faster (like 1000x) and with much smaller keys (like 10x) that are just random numbers so generating them is also free.
ECC allows greater security for key exchange (because it is so cheap to generate keys we can have "ephemeral" exchanges and forward-secrecy). It isn't significantly better for signatures in most cases.
Yes, last night we all voted and decided to move to its successor RSB instead.
