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 algorithm allows a message sender to generate a public keys to encrypt the message and the receiver is sent a generated private key using a secured database.

Amidst all of the confusion and concern over an encryption algorithm that may contain an NSA backdoor, RSA Security released an advisory to developer customers today noting that the algorithm is ...

A new study shows that quantum technology will catch up with today’s encryption standards much sooner than expected. That should worry anybody who needs to store data securely for 25 years or so.

RSA's encryption algorithm has powered nearly all the locks that appear in a Web browser when it enters a secure area. The patent was issued to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology nearly 20 ...
