Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...

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 ...

RSA is dead, long live RSA! At the end of December 2022, Chinese researchers published a paper claiming that they can crack RSA encryption using current-generation quantum computing. For decades, the ...

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...

Internet security firm RSA Security is challenging individuals to test the strength of its algorithms in its latest crypto Factoring Challenge, with cash prizes of up to $200,000 at stake.

RSAC It was a somewhat gloomy Cryptographers' Panel at the RSA Conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, with two of the industry's sages in a pretty grim mood.… Adi Shamir, the S in the RSA algorithm ...

Quantum computing is hardly the easiest thing to understand, but put simply, it's about pushing computing beyond existing limits by using the weird physics of subatomic particles. The coming quantum ...
