(IDG) -- Two weeks earlier than expected, RSA Security has released into the public domain an important computer security patent. Represented by the equation "c = m(e) mod n," the RSA algorithm is ...

This paper presents a design of data encryption and decryption in a network environment using RSA algorithm with a specific message block size.

But their findings suggest that quantum computers may soon pose a threat to their security. Wang and his colleagues studied two types of quantum annealing-based RSA public key attack algorithms.

Lockheed Martin’s has “major internal computer network problems,” that one security blogger is linking to compromised RSA tokens, according to published reports.

In 2024, a research team claimed to have used a quantum computer to break a core part of internet security, RSA encryption, but it's not time to panic just yet.

Ari Juels, chief scientist for RSA, told Network World that “the study is useful” as it pertains to the “failures of crypto protocols during random-number generation.” ...

Some cryptographers are looking for RSA replacements because the algorithm is just one encryption algorithm that may be vulnerable to new machines that exploit quantum effects in electronics.
