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 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 ...

[Part 1 of this article begins with a review of various application security level categories and a look at hash algorithms as a basic level of security. Part 2 covers the basics for optimizing ...

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

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

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 ...

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: ...

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.

Key issue is whether RSA overlooked crypto-algorithm's weaknesses to generate revenue from government contracts.
