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

Computer scientist Peter Gutmann tells The Reg why it's 'bollocks' The US National Institute for Standards and Technology ...

If true, they can now reverse engineer the private keys that can decrypt all data they have captured that was encrypted using RSA (and possibly other asymmetric encryption algorithms).” Tim West ...

If true, that could enable much smaller quantum computers to crack RSA encryption. However, there are practical limitations. For a start, Regev notes that Shor’s algorithm benefits from a host of ...

RSA Security today announced it has released the RSA public key encryption algorithm into the public domain, allowing anyone to create products that incorporate their own implementation of the ...

SSH , a protocol for accessing computers remotely, uses public key cryptography to authenticate computers. Public key cryptosystems include ' RSA ', ' DSA ', ' ECDSA ' and ' EdDSA ', and Virag ...

Virus writers may be well-funded crooks who count on your willingness to pay to get your secrets back, but there are ways to protect yourself ...

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 ...

As computers and math techniques become more powerful and sophisticated, current encryption standards could be made obsolete in as little as five years The strength of the encryption used now to ...

This will be the mother of all Y2Ks, made possible by a radically new type of computer.
