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

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

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

Quantum computing might have more significant impact on public-key cryptography, which is used to set up secure connections online. For example, this is used to support online shopping or secure ...

The issues relate to RSA, the ubiquitous encryption algorithm and crypto system that helps protect everything from web browsers and VPNs to email and messaging applications.

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 ...

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

A new research paper from a Google researcher slashed the estimated quantum resources needed to break RSA encryption, which is used by some crypto wallets.

A so-called trapdoor function typically lies at the heart of modern encryption algorithms. Trapdoor functions are mathematical operations that are easy to perform in the forward direction but much ...

For example, this is used to support online shopping or secure messaging, traditionally using the RSA algorithm, though increasingly an alternative called elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman.
