The RSA algorithm works because, when n is sufficiently large, deriving d from a known e and n will be an impractically long calculation — unless we know p, in which case we can use the shortcut ...

Internet security firm RSA warns customers not to use a community-developed encryption algorithm after fears it can be unlocked by the US National Security Agency.

Researchers Crack RSA Encryption Algorithm By Shane McGlaun March 9, 2010 9:22 am EST In December of 2009 we learned that the encryption algorithm used to protect GMS voice calls had been cracked .

RSA’s demise is greatly exaggerated. At the Enigma 2023 Conference in Santa Clara, California, on Tuesday, computer scientist and security and privacy expert Simson Garfinkel assured researchers ...

The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) paid $10 million to vendor RSA in a “secret” deal to incorporate a deliberately flawed encryption algorithm into widely used security software ...

The RSA encryption algorithm uses two keys: a public key and a private key. Messages can be encrypted using the public key, but can only be decrypted using the private key.

What wasn’t known until Reuters reported it was that RSA had been paid by the NSA to set the backdoored algorithm as the default method of random number generation. RSA received $10 million in a deal ...
