Researchers at Black Hat USA 2013 made a call for usage of elliptic curve cryptography in favor of the RSA algorithm, which the experts said could be cracked in the next five years.

Behind the hype lies a grounded, strategic reality: transitioning to post-quantum cryptography is about preparation, not ...

Quantum computing is a catalyst for rethinking how organizations govern, secure and manage cryptographic systems.

The RSA algorithm works as follows: First, I find two huge (at least 100 digits each!) prime numbers p and q, and then I multiply them together to get the even bigger number N.

RSA Security has refuted reports that it signed a $10 million contract with the NSA to use the questioned Dual Elliptic Curve algorithm as the default pseudorandom number generator in its products.

To an outsider, the RSA algorithm appears like a card trick: You pick a card from a stack, hide it (this is like encryption), and after some manipulations the magician produces your card—bazinga!

Despite RSA's gesture, several competitors who have paid royalties for use of the algorithm for up to 17 years, argue that the industry could have done with the patent relaxation earlier. "Of ...

RSA says researchers' results don't indicate a fundamental flaw in the RSA algorithm but more likely a problem with implementing it After having its flagship RSA crypto system called flawed this ...

RSA is NOT warning anyone to stop using RSA products; following NIST’s decision to strongly recommend against the use of the community developed Dual EC DRBG algorithm, our advisory recommends that ...

RSA is firing back at researchers who claim in a paper that its flagship crypto system is damaged goods. But the report is still difficult to dismiss. My colleague Ellen Messmer wrote about RSA ...
