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 ...

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 ...

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

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
