In December of 2009 we learned that the encryption algorithm used to protect GMS voice calls had been cracked. The cracking of the encryption meant that some voice calls might be vulnerable to ...

Some cryptographers are looking for RSA replacements because the algorithm is just one encryption algorithm that may be vulnerable to new machines that exploit quantum effects in electronics.

“Using the D-Wave Advantage, we successfully factored a 22-bit RSA integer, demonstrating the potential for quantum machines to tackle cryptographic problems,” the researchers wrote in the paper.

The algorithm allows a message sender to generate a public keys to encrypt the message and the receiver is sent a generated private key using a secured database.

A new study shows that quantum technology will catch up with today’s encryption standards much sooner than expected. That should worry anybody who needs to store data securely for 25 years or so.

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 RSA algorithm has become an encryption standard for many e-commerce security applications. The patent for it was issued to MIT on Sept. 20, 1983, and licensed exclusively to RSA Security.

RSA Security today released to the public domain an encryption technology patent that secures most of the e-business transactions taking place on the Internet. RSA's encryption algorithm has ...

Amidst all of the confusion and concern over an encryption algorithm that may contain an NSA backdoor, RSA Security released an advisory to developer customers today noting that the algorithm is ...

RSA Security, a division of EMC, privately told customers Thursday to ditch an encryption algorithm that reportedly contains a flaw engineered by the National Security Agency. It marks one of the ...
