In an email to developers, RSA said its BSafe toolkit supports a random number generator cryptography experts are concerned contains a modification enabling it to be used in U.S. government ...

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 ...

Virus analysts at Kaspersky Lab (my employer) have intercepted a new variant of Gpcode, a malicious virus that encrypts important files on an infected desktop and demands payment for a key to recover ...

As if it wasn't enough that the NSA paid RSA $10 million to adopt an algorithm that wasn't entirely secure, researchers have now demonstrated that they can break even RSA 4096 bit encryption with ...

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. Every CISO has encryption ...

One of the more interesting – and some say controversial -- pieces of news to come out of the recent 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas was a claim by Chinese scientists who say they’ve ...

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 week ...

Editor’s note: This article originally published 12-22-13, but was updated 12-23-13 with RSA’s comments. The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) paid $10 million to vendor RSA in a “secret” deal to ...

Encryption, the transformation of data into a form that prevents anyone unauthorized from understanding that data, is a fundamental technology that enables online commerce, secure communication, and ...
