The researchers found that they could defeat the RSA encryption by varying the voltage supplied to the holder of the private key needed to decrypt content using RSA.

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 ...

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

One algorithm is heavily used in public-key cryptography: Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), the original public-key cryptography algorithm from 1978. The Digital Signature Algorithm, or DSA, based on a ...

RSA Security Inc. unexpectedly released the widely used RSA public-key encryption algorithm into the public domain ahead of this week's expiration of the patent on the algorithm -- a move that's ...

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 ...

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 ...

RSA, the internet security firm, has advised its customers not to use a particular encryption algorithm after fears it could be unlocked by the US National Security Agency (NSA).
