Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...
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 ...
The technique still takes 1,380 CPU core-years, but that's down from the estimated 500,000 to 1 million CPU core-years it ...

Novel attack on RSA cryptography might lower computation requirements for cracking
Not very practical yet, but could serve as the basis for future improvements.
The RSA algorithm (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is a public key cryptosystem that uses a pair of keys to secure digital communication and transactions over insecure networks, such as the internet. RSA is a ...
In an email to developers, RSA said its BSafe toolkit supports a random number generator cryptography experts are concerned contains a modification enabling it to be used in U.S. government ...
RSA Executive Chairman Art Coviello defended his company's use of a flawed encryption algorithm with alleged links to the intelligence community, and later railed against the use of offensive ...
A new challenge has been thrown at the myth of security surrounding "RSA encryption," the public-key cryptosystem that ...
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 ...
A couple of days ago on The Conversation, I set myself up with a task: to defend the usefulness of so-called “useless” maths. Today, that defence continues, with a look at the RSA algorithm. I ...
The NSA arranged a secret $10 million deal with security firm RSA that ultimately resulted in the company incorporating a flawed algorithm for generating random numbers into its products, creating a ...
In December of 2009 we learned that the encryption algorithm used to protect GMS voice calls had been cracked. The cracking of the encryption meant that some voice calls might be vulnerable to ...
