To give one potential example: it appears that some primes are likely to be less secure than other primes. I don't really have much background info on this to provide here, so you'll want to Google around, but I'll leave a couple of links to more reading. (There are probably better links I'm not aware of.) I just know enough to know that it's a bad idea to implement asymmetric cryptography without fully understanding the number theory behind it.
