The RSA algorithm is a feast of genius that combines theoretical math and practical coding into working asymmetric cryptography. Here’s how it works.

Senior executives must recognize that embedded encryption's long-neglected fragility poses a systemic risk to enterprise ...

RSA Security Inc. unexpectedly released the widely used RSA public-key encryption algorithm into the public domain ahead of this week's expiration of the patent on the algorithm -- a move that's ...

When this era of quantum computing arrives, we will reach the point where post-quantum cryptography (PCQ) becomes essential.

The issues relate to RSA, the ubiquitous encryption algorithm and crypto system that helps protect everything from web browsers and VPNs to email and messaging applications.

Quantum computing might have more significant impact on public-key cryptography, which is used to set up secure connections online. For example, this is used to support online shopping or secure ...

RSA encryption uses an ingeniously simple mathematical premise. Recent news stories suggesting it's been cracked are an exaggeration. We're not there yet.

A new research paper from a Google researcher slashed the estimated quantum resources needed to break RSA encryption, which is used by some crypto wallets.

Ronald Rivest helped come up with the RSA algorithm, which safeguards online commerce. Now he’s hoping to make democratic elections more trustworthy.
