Some cryptographers are looking for RSA replacements because the algorithm is just one encryption algorithm that may be vulnerable to new machines that exploit quantum effects in electronics.

The first public key encryption algorithm: RSA The first algorithms using asymmetric keys were devised in secret by the British government's SIGINT agency, GCHQ, in 1973.

The AE mod M function also shows another property of RSA in practice the algorithm is asymmetric in performance. As the encryption exponent, E, is much smaller than the decryption exponent, D, ...

Ottawa, Canada, May 9, 2007 - Security IP provider Elliptic today announced that it has completed the 2.0 release of its Ellipsys security software. This release upgrades the algorithms implemented to ...

Today, [Henry Schmale] writes to us about his small contribution to making cryptography easier to understand – lifting the veil on the RSA asymmetric encryption technique through an RSA calculator.

One algorithm is heavily used in public-key cryptography: Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), the original public-key cryptography algorithm from 1978. The Digital Signature Algorithm, or DSA, based on a ...

An encryption algorithm that may contain a back door for government surveillance was set as the default configuration in RSA's encryption implementation toolkit for developers.

If true, they can now reverse engineer the private keys that can decrypt all data they have captured that was encrypted using RSA (and possibly other asymmetric encryption algorithms).” ...
