They’re pushing for a stronger foundation built out of multiple algorithms implemented with protocols that make switching simpler. Some cryptographers are looking for RSA replacements because ...

A new research paper from a Google researcher slashed the estimated quantum resources needed to break RSA encryption, which ...

That’s because the secret prime numbers that underpin the security of an RSA key are easy to calculate using Shor’s algorithm. Computing the same primes using classical computing takes ...

The algorithm they came up with became known by their initials: RSA. Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman were inspired by the Diffie-Hellman paper to conceive of a new but related way to achieve public ...

Security firm RSA publicly released its encryption algorithm Wednesday, allowing any company to freely develop solutions based on its prevalent technology. The algorithm is used by both Netscape ...

RSA is currently doing an internal review of all of its products to see where the algorithm gets invoked and to change those. A company spokesman said the review is expected to be completed next week.

RSA Security Inc. pre-empted a number of celebration parties by unexpectedly releasing the widely used RSA public-key encryption algorithm into the public domain ahead of this week’s expiration ...

“On Feb. 14th, a research paper was submitted for publication stating that an alleged flaw has been found in the RSA encryption algorithm,” RSA said Thursday in a statement. “Our analysis ...

One of the most common encryption schemes, the RSA algorithm, is based on prime numbers. It uses a “public key,” information that is publicly available, and a “private key,” something that ...
