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.

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.

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.

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.

Final Words. As we mentioned at the beginning, encryption is not 100% foolproof—but it’s better than leaving your files out in the open. Remember what encryption can’t do—it can’t secure ...

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 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 ...
