The RSA algorithm (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is a public key cryptosystem that uses a pair of keys to secure digital communication and transactions over insecure networks, such as the internet. RSA is a ...

The world has known for decades that the RSA cryptosystem’s days are numbered. Once quantum computing becomes practical (estimates for that range from 3 to 20 or more years), the foundational security ...

RSA, a widely used asymmetric cryptography system, appears to be more vulnerable than previously thought. Under certain ...

RSA encryption is a major foundation of digital security and is one of the most commonly used forms of encryption, and yet it operates on a brilliantly simple premise: it's easy to multiply two large ...

Eric Lu factored an 862-bit RSA key for $400K using GPUs, putting RSA-1024 cracking costs at $30M and accelerating post-quantum crypto timelines.

RSA-896, a 270-digit encryption benchmark, was factored on September 19, 2026, by Anthropic engineer Stephen Weis using Claude AI and 2,048 GPUs -- making it the second AI-assisted integer ...

While last week’s Dell/EMC merger was certainly a blockbuster, nothing specific was mentioned about future plans for RSA Security. Michael Dell did say that there were a “number of discussions about ...

AI is continuing to break records in technical fields. An Anthropic engineer says Claude ported a decades-old factoring tool ...

Anyone like me with more than a few years in the networking trenches remembers when RSA was RSA Data Security, and was known as “…the world’s brand name for cryptography…” (see link below). Until 1996 ...

It’s always interesting to see the public response to a game-changing acquisition, namely EMC buying RSA Security. This deal changes the security landscape, so I need to come up with a new name for ...
