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

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.

Hey all, I'm having some serious problems with RSA crypto in java. The program I am writing needs to encrypt information using RSA to send to a server. Each side of the connection is a java app ...

The RSA algorithm has become an encryption standard for many e-commerce security applications. The patent for it was issued to MIT on Sept. 20, 1983, and licensed exclusively to RSA Security.

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