RSA is currently doing an internal review of all of its products to see where the algorithm gets invoked and to change those. A company spokesman said the review is expected to be completed next ...

The RSA algorithm works because, when n is sufficiently large, deriving d from a known e and n will be an impractically long calculation — unless we know p, in which case we can use the shortcut.

RSA Security says it does not believe that relinquishing the algorithm will weaken its position within the computer security market. The computer security firm acknowledges, however, that the move ...

RSA is a different algorithm with a longer history and a broader adoption, at least in the past. It depends upon the complexity of factoring large numbers.

To an outsider, the RSA algorithm appears like a card trick: You pick a card from a stack, hide it (this is like encryption), and after some manipulations the magician produces your card—bazinga!

RSA said that it didn't enable backdoors in its software and that the choice of Dual_EC_DRBG was essentially down to fashion: at the time that the algorithm was picked in 2004 (predating the NIST ...

Based on the data they collected, they concluded “1,024-bit RSA provides 99.8% security at best.” BACKGROUND: Crypto experts analyze millions of X.509 certificates, call RSA crypto flawed ...
