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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chinese researchers have successfully used D-Wave‘s quantum annealing systems to break classic encryption RSA, potentially accelerating the timeline for when quantum computers could pose a real threat ...

A large chunk of the global economy now rests on public key cryptography. We generally agree that with long enough keys, it is infeasible to crack things encoded that way. Until such time as it isn’t, ...

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 ...

Digital security depends on the difficulty of factoring large numbers. A new proof shows why one method for breaking digital encryption won’t work. My recent story for Quanta explained a newly proved ...

SAN FRANCISCO — RSA Security Inc. yesterday announced a new identity and access management system code-named Nexus that it said will deliver common administration of all the company’s security ...
