As if it wasn't enough that the NSA paid RSA $10 million to adopt an algorithm that wasn't entirely secure, researchers have now demonstrated that they can break even RSA 4096 bit encryption with ...

RSA on Tuesday said it bought Valyd Software, a Hyderabad, India-based developer of software that encrypts data at rest and in motion, for an undisclosed sum. Valyd's KeepSecure data encryption suite ...

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 ...

IBM scientists entangled 120 qubits in a single coherent “cat state,” a record-breaking feat in quantum computing.

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 top boffin has discovered a way to use his smartphone or Linux computer to crack RSA-2048 encryption. Dr. Ed Gerck is preparing a research paper with the details but couldn't hold off from telling ...

Microsoft has pushed out an update to Windows users that forces applications and web services using RSA encryption to have keys of at least 1024 bits in length. The update was previously available ...

Editor’s note: This article originally published 12-22-13, but was updated 12-23-13 with RSA’s comments. The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) paid $10 million to vendor RSA in a “secret” deal to ...

Today, a victim of a new ransomware called Paradise posted in the BleepingComputer.com forums and uploaded a sample so we could take a look at it. While this ransomware is not revolutionary by any ...

In contrast to the cooperative preparations required for setting up private key encryption, such as secret-sharing and close coordination between sender and receiver ...
