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

But he faults its core idea that the RSA algorithm is somehow fundamentally flawed. “I’d say all cryptography relies on good true random-number generation.

Until now, system designers who have chosen the RSA algorithm for cryptographic applications have been forced to confront a difficult choice. Although processors are flexible and can be very cost ...

Ronald Rivest helped come up with the RSA algorithm, which safeguards online commerce. Now he’s hoping to make democratic elections more trustworthy.

SSH , a protocol for accessing computers remotely, uses public key cryptography to authenticate computers. Public key cryptosystems include ' RSA ', ' DSA ', ' ECDSA ' and ' EdDSA ', and Virag ...

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

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.

Symmetric cryptography, which encrypts the bulk of our data today (and does not include the RSA algorithm), can easily be strengthened to protect against quantum computers.

Cryptography is designed and implemented incorrectly, you have to be an expert cryptographer to get it right. Why and what can we do about it?
