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

Senior executives must recognize that embedded encryption's long-neglected fragility poses a systemic risk to enterprise ...

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 ...

Quantum computing might have more significant impact on public-key cryptography, which is used to set up secure connections online. For example, this is used to support online shopping or secure ...

When this era of quantum computing arrives, we will reach the point where post-quantum cryptography (PCQ) becomes essential.

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.

This is particularly alarming for algorithms performing asymmetric cryptography like RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman), ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography), and DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm), which rely ...

RSA authentication is a popular encryption method used in media players, laptop computers, smartphones, servers and other devices.

A so-called trapdoor function typically lies at the heart of modern encryption algorithms. Trapdoor functions are mathematical operations that are easy to perform in the forward direction but much ...

Ronald Rivest helped come up with the RSA algorithm, which safeguards online commerce. Now he’s hoping to make democratic elections more trustworthy.
