A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...

Encryption, the transformation of data into a form that prevents anyone unauthorized from understanding that data, is a fundamental technology that enables online commerce, secure communication, and ...

Las Vegas — Within five years the math for cracking encryption algorithms could become so efficient that it may render today’s commonly used RSA public key cryptography algorithm obsolete, Black Hat ...

As if it wasn't enough that the NSA paid RSA $10 million to adopt an algorithm that wasn't entirely secure, researchers have now demonstrated that they can break even RSA 4096 bit encryption with ...

One of the principal challenges of resource sharing on data communication network is its security. This is premised on the fact that once there is connectivity between computers sharing some resources ...

Quantum computing represents a major threat to encryption, and the inflection point may be less than five years away.

Editor’s note: This article originally published 12-22-13, but was updated 12-23-13 with RSA’s comments. The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) paid $10 million to vendor RSA in a “secret” deal to ...
