Despite RSA's gesture, several competitors who have paid royalties for use of the algorithm for up to 17 years, argue that the industry could have done with the patent relaxation earlier.

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 says researchers' results don't indicate a fundamental flaw in the RSA algorithm but more likely a problem with implementing it. Topics Spotlight: AI-ready data centers; ...

The RSA algorithm works because, when n is sufficiently large, deriving d from a known e and n will be an impractically long calculation — unless we know p, in which case we can use the shortcut.

RSA is a different algorithm with a longer history and a broader adoption, at least in the past. It depends upon the complexity of factoring large numbers.

RSA Security has refuted reports that it signed a $10 million contract with the NSA to use the questioned Dual Elliptic Curve algorithm as the default pseudorandom number generator in its products.

RSA is firing back at researchers who claim in a paper that its flagship crypto system is damaged goods. But the report is still difficult to dismiss. My colleague Ellen Messmer wrote about RSA ...

RSA’s demise is greatly exaggerated. At the Enigma 2023 Conference in Santa Clara, California, on Tuesday, computer scientist and security and privacy expert Simson Garfinkel assured researchers ...

But he faults its core idea that the RSA algorithm is somehow fundamentally flawed. “I’d say all cryptography relies on good true random-number generation.
