Researchers at Black Hat USA 2013 made a call for usage of elliptic curve cryptography in favor of the RSA algorithm, which the experts said could be cracked in the next five years.

RSA Security has refuted reports that it signed a $10 million contract with the NSA to use the questioned Dual Elliptic Curve algorithm as the default pseudorandom number generator in its products.

When this era of quantum computing arrives, we will reach the point where post-quantum cryptography (PCQ) becomes essential.

To an outsider, the RSA algorithm appears like a card trick: You pick a card from a stack, hide it (this is like encryption), and after some manipulations the magician produces your card—bazinga!

The RSA algorithm is but one of many systems where a set of mathematical theorems, often from number theory, can be synthesised to construct an encryption scheme.

The Dual EC DRBG algorithm is NOT an RSA-owned or developed algorithm. It was a community-developed algorithm that was subsequently approved as a standard by NIST. It was since widely adopted for use ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
