Amidst all of the confusion and concern over an encryption algorithm that may contain an NSA backdoor, RSA Security released an advisory to developer customers today noting that the algorithm is ...

Security firm RSA publicly released its encryption algorithm Wednesday, allowing any company to freely develop solutions based on its prevalent technology. The algorithm is used by both Netscape ...

If a sufficiently powerful and reliable quantum computer ever exists, processes that are currently only theoretical might become capable of breaking those public-key cryptographic tools. RSA ...

The previous RSA record was set in 2010, with a key of 232 decimal digits and 768 bits. “We were actually faster than the previous record, even though we computed something larger,” says Thomé.

Based on the data they collected, they concluded “1,024-bit RSA provides 99.8% security at best.” BACKGROUND: Crypto experts analyze millions of X.509 certificates, call RSA crypto flawed ...
