A quantum computer with a million qubits would be able to crack the vital RSA encryption algorithm, and while such machines ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
