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.

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 ...

Today, [Henry Schmale] writes to us about his small contribution to making cryptography easier to understand – lifting the veil on the RSA asymmetric encryption technique through an RSA calculator.

Ottawa, Canada, May 9, 2007 - Security IP provider Elliptic today announced that it has completed the 2.0 release of its Ellipsys security software. This release upgrades the algorithms implemented to ...

Based on RSA asymmetric encryption with two keys, it cannot be broken by reverse engineering. The source code has been designed and created, from the ground up, for embedded systems with no GPL or ...

The most common asymmetric algorithm is RSA (for inventors Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Len Adleman). It is based on the difficulty of factoring large numbers, from which the two keys are derived.

Grover's algorithm will be utilised for symmetric encryption, and Shor's algorithm to break asymmetric. But there are some major prerequisites before a quantum computer can get the job done.
