The researchers found that they could defeat the RSA encryption by varying the voltage supplied to the holder of the private key needed to decrypt content using RSA.

This paper presents a design of data encryption and decryption in a network environment using RSA algorithm with a specific message block size.

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

RSA Security Inc. unexpectedly released the widely used RSA public-key encryption algorithm into the public domain ahead of this week's expiration of the patent on the algorithm -- a move that's ...

Leaked classified documents show the National Security Agency (NSA) arranged a US$10 million deal with RSA that ultimately led to the security firm using a “flawed” encryption formula in its ...

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.

Influenced by the NSA, RSA put a flawed algorithm for generating random numbers into its products, opening a backdoor into encrypted communications.

The RSA algorithm is but one of many systems where a set of mathematical theorems, often from number theory, can be synthesised to construct an encryption scheme.

Key issue is whether RSA overlooked crypto-algorithm's weaknesses to generate revenue from government contracts.
