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 NOT warning anyone to stop using RSA products; following NIST’s decision to strongly recommend against the use of the community developed Dual EC DRBG algorithm, our advisory recommends that ...

Despite RSA's gesture, several competitors who have paid royalties for use of the algorithm for up to 17 years, argue that the industry could have done with the patent relaxation earlier. "Of ...

The RSA algorithm has become an encryption standard for many e-commerce security applications. The patent for it was issued to MIT on Sept. 20, 1983, and licensed exclusively to RSA Security.

The algorithm allows a message sender to generate a public keys to encrypt the message and the receiver is sent a generated private key using a secured database.

Internet security firm RSA warns customers not to use a community-developed encryption algorithm after fears it can be unlocked by the US National Security Agency.

The first public key encryption algorithm: RSA The first algorithms using asymmetric keys were devised in secret by the British government's SIGINT agency, GCHQ, in 1973.

When the developers of the original RSA encryption algorithms built what has become the mainstream means of encrypting and decrypt data, it wasn't lost on them that some bad guys might also find ...

RSA Security, a division of EMC, privately told customers Thursday to ditch an encryption algorithm that reportedly contains a flaw engineered by the National Security Agency. It marks one of the ...
