RSA Security says it does not believe that relinquishing the algorithm will weaken its position within the computer security market. The computer security firm acknowledges, however, that the move ...

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

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.

RSA is firing back at researchers who claim in a paper that its flagship crypto system is damaged goods. But the report is still difficult to dismiss.

To explain how the RSA algorithm works, I need to tell you first about something called Fermat’s little theorem. It was discovered by Pierre Fermat, the same French mathematician who came up ...

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.

RSA Security has refuted reports that it signed a $10 million contract with the NSA to use the questioned Dual Elliptic Curve algorithm as the default pseudorandom number generator in its products.

RSA says researchers' results don't indicate a fundamental flaw in the RSA algorithm but more likely a problem with implementing it After having its flagship RSA crypto system called flawed this ...

Researchers at Black Hat USA 2013 made a call for usage of elliptic curve cryptography in favor of the RSA algorithm, which the experts said could be cracked in the next five years.
