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.

Wang Chao and his colleagues at Shanghai University have announced that they have developed a method to break RSA encryption, a cryptography whose security is based on the difficulty of prime ...

This paper claimed that the latest factorization algorithm announced in 2021 could be combined with the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) to crack RSA encryption using a quantum ...

The first public key encryption algorithm: RSA The first algorithms using asymmetric keys were devised in secret by the British government's SIGINT agency, GCHQ, in 1973.

An encryption algorithm that may contain a back door for government surveillance was set as the default configuration in RSA's encryption implementation toolkit for developers.

RSA has agreed with NIST's recommendation to stop using an encryption algorithm that may be compromised by a backdoor.

If true, they can now reverse engineer the private keys that can decrypt all data they have captured that was encrypted using RSA (and possibly other asymmetric encryption algorithms).” ...

RSA Security says it has released its public key encryption algorithm into the public domain, waiving its patent rights.
