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 ...

Named after its inventors, Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, RSA encryption transforms the number "char" into the number "cipher" with the formula cipher = char^e (mod n) The numbers e and n ...

One algorithm is heavily used in public-key cryptography: Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), the original public-key cryptography algorithm from 1978. The Digital Signature Algorithm, or DSA, based on a ...

A team of academic researchers from universities in California and Massachusetts demonstrated that it's possible under certain conditions for passive network attackers to retrieve secret RSA keys ...
