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 the ...

RSA is dead, long live RSA! At the end of December 2022, Chinese researchers published a paper claiming that they can crack RSA encryption using current-generation quantum computing. For decades, the ...

RSA has issued a statement denying allegations stemming from Friday’s bombshell report that the encryption software provider received $10 million from the National Security Agency (NSA) in exchange ...

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. LAS VEGAS – ...

Security company RSA was paid $10 million to use the flawed Dual_EC_DRBG pseudorandom number generating algorithm as the default algorithm in its BSafe crypto library, according to sources speaking to ...

A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...

For decades, algorithms such as RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) have been the solution for digital signatures. These algorithms exploit mathematical problems whose ...

RSAC It was a somewhat gloomy Cryptographers' Panel at the RSA Conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, with two of the industry's sages in a pretty grim mood.… Adi Shamir, the S in the RSA algorithm ...

Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...

Prime numbers are all the rage these days. I can tell something’s up when random people start asking me about the randomness of primes—without even knowing that I’m a mathematician! In the past couple ...
