RSA Security says it does not believe that relinquishing the algorithm will weaken its position within the computer security market. The computer security firm acknowledges, however, that the move ...

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.

Based on the data they collected, they concluded “1,024-bit RSA provides 99.8% security at best.” BACKGROUND: Crypto experts analyze millions of X.509 certificates, call RSA crypto flawed ...

RSA is currently doing an internal review of all of its products to see where the algorithm gets invoked and to change those. A company spokesman said the review is expected to be completed next ...

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.
