RSA encryption uses an ingeniously simple mathematical premise. Recent news stories suggest China has cracked it. But there's ...

The researchers found that they could defeat the RSA encryption by varying the voltage supplied to the holder of the private key needed to decrypt content using RSA.

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.

A new study shows that quantum technology will catch up with today’s encryption standards much sooner than expected. That should worry anybody who needs to store data securely for 25 years or so.

The algorithm allows a message sender to generate a public keys to encrypt the message and the receiver is sent a generated private key using a secured database.

The RSA algorithm is but one of many systems where a set of mathematical theorems, often from number theory, can be synthesised to construct an encryption scheme.

Researchers claim to have broken RSA encryption using a quantum computer, but what really happened?

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 ...

The company releases to the public domain an encryption technology patent that secures most of the e-business transactions taking place on the Internet.

In a potentially alarming development for global cybersecurity, Chinese researchers have unveiled a method using D-Wave’s quantum annealing systems to crack classic encryption, potentially ...
