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 ...

IntroductionHello everyone. This is Pei from WingArc1st.For a long time, RSA was the mainstream for public-key cryptography ...

Stephen Weis factored RSA-896 with Claude AI on Sept 19, 2026, pushing the public factoring record to 896 bits just 16 days after the prior mark ...

Eric Lu factored an 862-bit RSA key for $400K using GPUs, putting RSA-1024 cracking costs at $30M and accelerating post-quantum crypto timelines.

Three weeks ago, panic swept across some corners of the security world after researchers discovered a breakthrough that, at long last, put the cracking of the widely used RSA encryption scheme within ...

RSA-896, a 270-digit encryption benchmark, was factored on September 19, 2026, by Anthropic engineer Stephen Weis using Claude AI and 2,048 GPUs -- making it the second AI-assisted integer ...

Before delving into which key exchange algorithm is more secure or "better," let me start by explaining the differences between the Diffie-Hellman vs. RSA algorithms. Diffie-Hellman is a key exchange ...

RSA succeeded beyond what its creators could have imagined. But as we approach its 50th anniversary, we are also approaching ...

Post-quantum cryptography is not a future problem: Is your organisation ready?By Lauren Courtenay, Manager: Business Development – Certificate Services at Altron Security, and co-author, Rezarta Puka, ...

The RSA algorithm (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is a public key cryptosystem that uses a pair of keys to secure digital communication and transactions over insecure networks, such as the internet. RSA is a ...

Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...
