RSA cryptography, which is one of the typical public key cryptosystems, is a cryptosystem based on the fact that it is difficult to factor a composite number with a large number of digits into prime ...

Researchers have reached a new milestone in the annals of cryptography with the factoring of the largest RSA key size ever computed and a matching computation of the largest-ever integer discrete ...

Wang Chao and his colleagues at Shanghai University have announced that they have developed a method to break RSA encryption, a cryptography whose security is based on the difficulty of prime ...

Industry experts explain how the rise of quantum computing threatens Bitcoin and what should be done to prevent this.
