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.

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read.

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 ...

Whereas it was previously estimated that it would take a quantum computer with 20 million qubits (quantum bits) eight hours to crack the popular RSA algorithm (named after its inventors, Rivest ...

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. Public key ...

The method, outlined in a scientific paper published in late December, could be used to break the RSA algorithm that underpins most online encryption using a quantum machine with only 372 qubits ...

Adi Shamir, the S in the RSA algorithm and a cofounder of RSA Security, went off on cryptocurrency, saying its early promise has been wasted. While he said Satoshi Nakamoto's paper [PDF] on ...

Whereas it was previously estimated that it would take a quantum computer with 20 million qubits (quantum bits) eight hours to crack the popular RSA algorithm (named after its inventors, Rivest ...
