SAN FRANCISCO -- RSA CONFERENCE 2009 -- RSA, the Security Division of EMC, here today launched a program that for the first time gives developers its encryption technology tools for free. RSA ...

Spotted an interesting report recently stating that 768-bit RSA encryption has been broken. Specifically, what researchers have done is factorised a 768=bit 232-digit number using a number field sieve ...

As computers and math techniques become more powerful and sophisticated, current encryption standards could be made obsolete in as little as five years The strength of the encryption used now to ...

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 ...

Digital security depends on the difficulty of factoring large numbers. A new proof shows why one method for breaking digital encryption won’t work. My recent story for Quanta explained a newly proved ...

This marks the 20th year since the first RSA Conference, an annual meeting that has witnessed major technology shifts, aired significant controversies and undergone a name change on its way to ...
