Until now, system designers who have chosen the RSA algorithm for cryptographic applications have been forced to confront a difficult choice. Although processors are flexible and can be very cost ...

For example, it took researchers two years recently to factor a 232-digit number, even with hundreds of parallel computers. That’s why the RSA algorithm is so effective.

The inventors of the RSA algorithm published a list of RSA keys and challenged people to find the original primes, as a way of tracking how secure the encryption is against modern computers.

After having its flagship RSA crypto system called flawed this week by prominent researchers in a paper they made available online, EMC's RSA security division struck back by saying the paper's ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have announced that they have found a major weakness in the popular RSA encryption algorithm.

Internet security firm RSA warns customers not to use a community-developed encryption algorithm after fears it can be unlocked by the US National Security Agency.
