The famous cryptographers Leonard Adleman, Ronald Rivest, and Adi Shamir – the developers of the RSA encryption code – received the Association for Computing Machinery’s 2002 Turing Award “for their ...

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 ...

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 ...

Flawed chipsets used by PCs to generate RSA encryption keys have a vulnerability that has weakened the security of stored passwords, encrypted disks, documents, and more. This week, researchers from ...

RSA certificates still vulnerable to 2019 flaw, reaearchers say. Update, March 20, 2025: This story, originally published March 17, has been updated with a statement from RSA regarding the encryption ...

Encryption algorithms can be intimidating to approach, what’s with all the math involved. However, once you start digging into them, you can break the math apart into smaller steps, and get a feel of ...

The bolding is mine, because if in fact the agency did crack the encryption schemes used for bank transactions (the Times is somewhat unclear on that point), then in doing so it may have solved a math ...

The global market for hardware encryption solutions is expected to reach $413.85 billion by the year 2022 according to market research published by Markets and Markets. This total represents a ...

Researchers are closing in on deciphering 1,024-bit RSA encryption, security industry watchers said following an unprecedented numbers-cracking feat by a group of French, German, and Japanese ...

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 ...
