Cisco and RSA have teamed up to develop encryption technology for data-at-rest on tapes and other types of storage media, combined with key management within storage area network infrastructure. With ...

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 recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...

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 feel of ...

BEDFORD, Mass., May 6/PRNewswire/ --RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE: EMC) today announced enhancements to RSA(R) Key Manager Suite (RKM), its enterprise encryption key management system ...

Quantum computing (QC) has long held the promise of exceeding what is possible in conventional computing. Physicists have held that a 50 qubit QC arrangement could outperform any of today's ...

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 ...

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean that someone isn’t trying to listen in on your cell phone conversation or steal your Palm Pilot beams. RSA Security Inc. announced today that suspicious ...

A large chunk of the global economy now rests on public key cryptography. We generally agree that with long enough keys, it is infeasible to crack things encoded that way. Until such time as it isn’t, ...
