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.

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.

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).” ...

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 ...

The RSA operation for encryption and decryption is relatively simple as compared to other cryptographic algorithms, but the magic of RSA lies in the keys. Key generation in RSA is less simple than the ...

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 ...

Two encryption-software libraries developed by NTRU Cryptosystems include C-callable functions. The dsPIC30F symmetric-key-encryption library uses the AES and Triple DES secret-key algorithms and has ...

The most common asymmetric algorithm is RSA (for inventors Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Len Adleman). It is based on the difficulty of factoring large numbers, from which the two keys are derived.
