RSA Security Inc. pre-empted a number of celebration parties by unexpectedly releasing the widely used RSA public-key encryption algorithm into the public domain ahead of this week’s expiration of the ...

In December of 2009 we learned that the encryption algorithm used to protect GMS voice calls had been cracked. The cracking of the encryption meant that some voice calls might be vulnerable to ...

Two encryption-software libraries developed by NTRU Cryptosystems include C-callable functions. The dsPIC30F symmetric-key-encryption library uses the AES and Triple DES secret-key algorithms and has ...

Leaked classified documents show the National Security Agency (NSA) arranged a US$10 million deal with RSA that ultimately led to the security firm using a “flawed” encryption formula in its products.

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...
