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 ...

Yes! One way is to use longer ‘keys’ for RSA encryption. While 2048-bit keys are common, using 4096-bit keys makes the code ...

A team of academic researchers from universities in California and Massachusetts demonstrated that it's possible under certain conditions for passive network attackers to retrieve secret RSA keys ...

Symmetric cryptography, which encrypts the bulk of our data today (and does not include the RSA algorithm), can easily be strengthened to protect against quantum computers. Quantum computing might ...

Adi Shamir, the S in the RSA algorithm and a cofounder of RSA Security, went off on cryptocurrency, saying its early promise has been wasted. While he said Satoshi Nakamoto's paper [PDF] on ...
