Some cryptographers are looking for RSA replacements because the algorithm is just one encryption algorithm that may be vulnerable to new machines that exploit quantum effects in electronics.

Security company RSA was paid $10 million to use the flawed Dual_EC_DRBG pseudorandom number generating algorithm as the default algorithm in its BSafe crypto library, according to sources ...

RSA says researchers' results don't indicate a fundamental flaw in the RSA algorithm but more likely a problem with implementing it After having its flagship RSA crypto system called flawed this ...

The inventors of the RSA algorithm published a list of RSA keys and challenged people to find the original primes, as a way of tracking how secure the encryption is against modern computers.

Instead of replacing the insecure RSA algorithm, the designers of the TLS standard decided to add countermeasures to make the brute-force guessing process harder to carry out.

The method, outlined in a scientific paper published in late December, could be used to break the RSA algorithm that underpins most online encryption using a quantum machine with only 372 qubits ...
