The RSA algorithm is a feast of genius that combines theoretical math and practical coding into working asymmetric cryptography. Here’s how it works.

RSA’s demise from quantum attacks is very much exaggerated, expert says Expert says the focus on quantum attacks may distract us from more immediate threats.

Chinese researchers have successfully used D-Wave's quantum annealing systems to break classic encryption, potentially accelerating the timeline for when quantum computers could pose a real threat ...

A quantum computer with a million qubits would be able to crack the vital RSA encryption algorithm, and while such machines don't yet exist, that estimate could still fall further ...

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.

However, the direction of travel means that AES-256 and other ‘military grade’ encryption algorithms are closer than ever before to being cracked.

The RSA algorithm is but one of many systems where a set of mathematical theorems, often from number theory, can be synthesised to construct an encryption scheme.

The biggest change in this variant of the ransomeware is the use of RSA encryption algorithm with a 1024-bit key, making it impossible to crack without without the author's key. Here's the ...

Key issue is whether RSA overlooked crypto-algorithm's weaknesses to generate revenue from government contracts.

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.
