The technique still takes 1,380 CPU core-years, but that's down from the estimated 500,000 to 1 million CPU core-years it ...

RSA, a widely used asymmetric cryptography system, appears to be more vulnerable than previously thought. Under certain ...

RSA-896, a 270-digit encryption benchmark, was factored on September 19, 2026, by Anthropic engineer Stephen Weis using ...

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 ...

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.

AI is continuing to break records in technical fields. An Anthropic engineer says Claude ported a decades-old factoring tool ...

RSA is dead, long live RSA! At the end of December 2022, Chinese researchers published a paper claiming that they can crack RSA encryption using current-generation quantum computing. For decades, the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
