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.

An encryption algorithm that may contain a back door for government surveillance was set as the default configuration in RSA's encryption implementation toolkit for developers.

RSA is firing back at researchers who claim in a paper that its flagship crypto system is damaged goods. But the report is still difficult to dismiss.

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 ...

RSA says researchers' results don't indicate a fundamental flaw in the RSA algorithm but more likely a problem with implementing it After having its flagship RSA crypto system called flawed this ...

Security company RSA was paid $10 million to use the flawed Dual_EC_DRBG pseudorandom number generating algorithm as the default algorithm in its BSafe crypto library, according to sources ...

Instead of replacing the insecure RSA algorithm, the designers of the TLS standard decided to add countermeasures to make the brute-force guessing process harder to carry out.

After having its flagship RSA crypto system called flawed this week by prominent researchers in a paper they made available online, EMC's RSA security division struck back by saying the paper's ...
