San Jose, Calif. – Altera Corp. has developed what it calls a way to lower the cost of RSA decryption. By porting a reusable RSA intellectual-property core to its Cyclone series of FPGAs, Altera said ...

Scientists have proved that they can extract a 4096-bit RSA key from a laptop using an acoustic side-channel attack that enables them to record the noise coming from the laptop during decryption, ...

It sounds too preposterous for even James Bond: by placing a mobile phone next to a PC, researchers can “listen” to the faintest sound a CPU makes as it churns away on RSA-encoded content and extract ...

On December 29th, a Pastbin post was created that contains the master RSA decryption key for the FilesLocker Ransomware. The release of this key has allowed a decryptor to be created that can recover ...

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 ...

Although quantum computing is years away from commercial availability, business leaders, CIOs, and CISOs need to act now to prepare for the technology's inevitable ability to crack RSA-encrypted data.

The process — carried out in early December — generated a five-terabyte decryption table and, say the researchers, would have taken them around 1,500 years using an AMD Opteron-based single PC. The ...
