This program allows you to use RSA - a type of public key cryptography - to privately communicate by encrypting and decrypting messages. With RSA, prime numbers are the foundation to the variety of ...

This implementation of RSA is written in Python from first principles, without relying on black-box cryptographic libraries. Its purpose is to expose the moving parts of public-key cryptography: ...

Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...

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 week ...

Security company RSA was paid $10 million to use the flawed Dual_EC_DRBG pseudorandom number generating algorithm as the default algorithm in its BSafe crypto library, according to sources speaking to ...

A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...

Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global security disaster? You might certainly get that impression from a lot of news coverage, the latest of which reports new estimates ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a Reformulated Euclidean Algorithm (REA) and its optimized architecture for Reed-Solomon decoding. Through algorithm transformations on a modified Euclidean ...

The Euclidean algorithm works with numbers of any size. To find the greatest common divisor of 77 and 187 using the Euclidean algorithm involves the process of long division, which you might have ...
