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 Security Inc. unexpectedly released the widely used RSA public-key encryption algorithm into the public domain ahead of this week's expiration of the patent on the algorithm -- a move that's ...

[Part 1 of this article begins with a review of various application security level categories and a look at hash algorithms as a basic level of security. Part 2 covers the basics for optimizing ...

Behind the hype lies a grounded, strategic reality: transitioning to post-quantum cryptography is about preparation, not ...

Quantum computing is a catalyst for rethinking how organizations govern, secure and manage cryptographic systems.

In 2024, a research team claimed to have used a quantum computer to break a core part of internet security, RSA encryption, but it's not time to panic just yet.

Since RSA's invention, other asymmetric encryption algorithms have been devised; like RSA, they're all built on the assumption that a particular mathematical problem is hard to solve, usually ...

The mathematical difficulty of the above problem is what ensures the strength of our encryption (or lock). Crunching the numbers The RSA algorithm works as follows: ...

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