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.

Amidst all of the confusion and concern over an encryption algorithm that may contain an NSA backdoor, RSA Security released an advisory to developer customers today noting that the algorithm is ...

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 ...

But he faults its core idea that the RSA algorithm is somehow fundamentally flawed. “I’d say all cryptography relies on good true random-number generation.

RSA is firing back at researchers who claim in a paper that its flagship crypto system is damaged goods. But the report is still difficult to dismiss.
