The RSA algorithm is a feast of genius that combines theoretical math and practical coding into working asymmetric cryptography. Here’s how it works.

RSA encryption uses an ingeniously simple mathematical premise. Recent news stories suggesting it's been cracked are an exaggeration. We're not there yet.

RSA Security Inc. unexpectedly released the widely used RSA public-key encryption algorithm into the public domain ahead of this week's expiration of the patent on the algorithm -- a move that's ...

Behind the hype lies a grounded, strategic reality: transitioning to post-quantum cryptography is about preparation, not ...

The issues relate to RSA, the ubiquitous encryption algorithm and crypto system that helps protect everything from web browsers and VPNs to email and messaging applications.

Quantum computing is a catalyst for rethinking how organizations govern, secure and manage cryptographic systems.

The mathematical difficulty of the above problem is what ensures the strength of our encryption (or lock). Crunching the numbers The RSA algorithm works as follows: ...

Since RSA's invention, other asymmetric encryption algorithms have been devised; like RSA, they're all built on the assumption that a particular mathematical problem is hard to solve, usually ...

Previously, experts calculated that factoring RSA-2048 with quantum computers employing a quantum factoring method known as Shor’s algorithm would require 13,436 qubits.
