The RSA algorithm is a feast of genius that combines theoretical math and practical coding into working asymmetric cryptography. Here’s how it works.

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.

RSA Security says it has released its public key encryption algorithm into the public domain, waiving its patent rights.

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 ...

Encryption algorithms can be intimidating to approach, what’s with all the math involved. However, once you start digging into them, you can break the math apart into smaller steps, and get a ...

Encryption is essential for protecting data, with both symmetric and asymmetric methods offering unique advantages.

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 ...

Key issue is whether RSA overlooked crypto-algorithm's weaknesses to generate revenue from government contracts.

An encryption algorithm that may contain a back door for government surveillance was set as the default configuration in RSA's encryption implementation toolkit for developers.

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.
