Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...
A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...
Las Vegas — Within five years the math for cracking encryption algorithms could become so efficient that it may render today’s commonly used RSA public key cryptography algorithm obsolete, Black Hat ...
When leaked documents claimed to have caught the NSA inserting bad protocols into the national standards board NIST, it raised more questions than answers. Why would the NSA go to the trouble of ...
Three weeks ago, panic swept across some corners of the security world after researchers discovered a breakthrough that, at long last, put the cracking of the widely used RSA encryption scheme within ...
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 ...
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 ...
One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...
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. The ...
