AI attacks weakened the HAWK signature candidate, while RSA factoring records underscore the need for cryptographic agility.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

This is the fifth installment of the mathematics series. In the first article, “Fermat Test — Another Principle of Primality ...
