Layman question:

assuming one day RSA gets actually broken and a quantum computer or a new algorithm can factorize prime numbers fast: would there be any alternatives avaiable for public/private key encryption?

Or would the solution be, to use just a lot bigger prime numbers calculated also with a quantum computer? That sounds not too promising.
