RSA has been an incredible cryptosystem, elements of which will continue to live on in generations of future cryptosystems. But it's also a dinosaur.

Imagining a new, non-RSA cryptosystem Theoretical results like this are why the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) started a contest in 2016 to identify potential replacements ...

What a week for the RSA cryptosystem! A group of prominent researchers published a paper blasting it as woefully insecure, RSA said there's nothing wrong with the RSA algorithm, it's an ...

For example, it would take a classical computer 300 trillion years to crack an RSA-2048 bit encryption key. A quantum computer can do the same job in just ten seconds with 4099 stable qubits—but ...

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.

Security researchers have successfully broken one of the most secure encryption algorithms, 4096-bit RSA, by listening -- yes, with a microphone -- to a computer as it decrypts some encrypted data.

A video guide to the popular RSA cryptosystem. Strengths and weaknesses. So how secure are the AES and RSA/Diffie-Hellman systems in use today? The security of any cryptosystem in practice depends ...

The attack works against TLS-protected communications that rely on the RSA cryptosystem when the key is exposed even indirectly through SSLv2, a TLS precursor that was retired almost two decades ...

Understand how basic number-theoretic concepts are used to build the RSA crypto-system. Learn about how quantum computers can be used to break the RSA cryptosystem. Understand the foundations of ...

One of the most disruptive changes quantum computing will bring is the breaking of some of the most common forms of encryption, specifically, the RSA cryptosystem and those based on elliptic curves.
