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 ...

One of the principal challenges of resource sharing on data communication network is its security. This is premised on the fact that once there is connectivity between computers sharing some resources ...

Many people worry that quantum computers will be able to crack certain codes used to send secure messages. The codes in question encrypt data using “trapdoor” mathematical functions that work easily ...

The company releases to the public domain an encryption technology patent that secures most of the e-business transactions taking place on the Internet. RSA Security today released to the public ...

The research team, led by Wang Chao from Shanghai University, found that D-Wave’s quantum computers can optimize problem-solving in a way that makes it possible to attack encryption methods such as ...

In December of 2009 we learned that the encryption algorithm used to protect GMS voice calls had been cracked. The cracking of the encryption meant that some voice calls might be vulnerable to ...

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 ...

RSA Security Inc. pre-empted a number of celebration parties by unexpectedly releasing the widely used RSA public-key encryption algorithm into the public domain ahead of this week’s expiration of the ...

Security firm RSA publicly released its encryption algorithm Wednesday, allowing any company to freely develop solutions based on its prevalent technology. The algorithm is used by both Netscape ...
