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

Researchers Crack RSA Encryption Algorithm By Shane McGlaun March 9, 2010 9:22 am EST In December of 2009 we learned that the encryption algorithm used to protect GMS voice calls had been cracked .

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.

Data Encryption and Decryption Using RSA Algorithm in a Network Environment. One of the principal challenges of resource sharing on data communication network is its security.

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.

“Using the D-Wave Advantage, we successfully factored a 22-bit RSA integer, demonstrating the potential for quantum machines to tackle cryptographic problems,” the researchers wrote in the paper.

The RSA algorithm has become an encryption standard for many e-commerce security applications. The patent for it was issued to MIT on Sept. 20, 1983, and licensed exclusively to RSA Security.

RSA's encryption algorithm has powered nearly all the locks that appear in a Web browser when it enters a secure area. The patent was issued to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology nearly 20 ...

Researchers claim to have broken RSA encryption using a quantum computer, but what really happened? When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how ...

RSA is a public-key encryption algorithm used to encrypt and decrypt data. It relies on two different but linked keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.
