Spotted an interesting report recently stating that 768-bit RSA encryption has been broken. Specifically, what researchers have done is factorised a 768=bit 232-digit number using a number field sieve ...

Prodded by "concerns about overbroad government surveillance," Google beat an end-of-year deadline to retire Web certificates with less secure 1,024-bit encryption keys. Stephen Shankland worked at ...

Along with AES 256-bit encryption, MoneyMutual also uses the services of TrustedSite to scan its site daily for security risks. TrustedSite provides cybersecurity solutions to assist businesses in ...

I think we're talking about two different encryption algorithms. The RSA public key algorithm is the one discussed in the article. The distributed.net challenge is RC5, which I don't think has a ...

Security researchers have successfully broken one of the most secure encryption algorithms, 4096-bit RSA, by listening -- yes, with a microphone-- to a computer as it decrypts some encrypted data. The ...

In the last several days, headlines have been plastered all over the internet regarding Chinese researchers using D-Wave quantum computers to hack RSA, AES, and "military-grade encryption." This is ...
