Games console maker Nintendo is using encryption technology developed by RSA Security's Brisbane Development Centre to encrypt wireless traffic between its soon-to-be-launched Nintendo DS portable ...
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 ...
The famous cryptographers Leonard Adleman, Ronald Rivest, and Adi Shamir – the developers of the RSA encryption code – received the Association for Computing Machinery’s 2002 Turing Award “for their ...
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 ...
A research paper presented at the Usenix security conference last week detailed a new technique for retrieving encryption keys from electronic devices, a method that is much faster than all previously ...
Hackers try to find novel ways to circumvent or under­mine data encryption schemes all the time. But at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Purdue University researcher Sze ...
There is a potential dark side to quantum computing, one that is a threat to how we secure data. Back in 1994, Peter Shor developed an algorithm for factoring large numbers using a quantum computer, ...
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 ...
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 ...
