A quantum computer with a million qubits would be able to crack the vital RSA encryption algorithm, and while such machines don't yet exist, that estimate could still fall further ...

Symmetric cryptography, which encrypts the bulk of our data today (and does not include the RSA algorithm), can easily be strengthened to protect against quantum computers. Quantum computing might ...

The previous RSA record was set in 2010, with a key of 232 decimal digits and 768 bits. “We were actually faster than the previous record, even though we computed something larger,” says Thomé.

RSA is a different algorithm with a longer history and a broader adoption, at least in the past. It depends upon the complexity of factoring large numbers.

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 ...

The report details a secret deal between the NSA and respected encryption company RSA, in which the agency paid $10 million for RSA to incorporate the weaker algorithm into an encryption product ...

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 ...

RSA is currently doing an internal review of all of its products to see where the algorithm gets invoked and to change those. A company spokesman said the review is expected to be completed next ...
