Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...

RSA is dead, long live RSA! At the end of December 2022, Chinese researchers published a paper claiming that they can crack RSA encryption using current-generation quantum computing. For decades, the ...

RSA succeeded beyond what its creators could have imagined. But as we approach its 50th anniversary, we are also approaching a historic inflection point.

The takeaway: Researchers have found a way to forge certain RSA signatures without factoring the key behind them, challenging a long-held assumption about one of the internet's oldest public-key ...

Quantum computing poses a great opportunity but also a great threat to internet security; certain mathematical problems that form the basis of today’s most popular cryptographic algorithms will be ...
