For example, the security available with a 1024-bit key using asymmetric RSA is considered approximately equal in security to an 80-bit key in a symmetric algorithm ( Source: RSA Security ).

RSA Security claims that 1024-bit RSA keys are equivalent in strength to 80-bit symmetric keys, 2048-bit RSA keys to 112-bit symmetric keys and 3072-bit RSA keys to 128-bit symmetric keys.

At the RSA Conference 2005, the National Security Agency ( NSA ) announced Suite B which exclusively uses ECC for digital signature generation and key exchange.

After a report from RSA Data Security, Inc., who were in a licensing dispute with regard to use of the RSA algorithm in PGP, the Customs Service started a criminal investigation of Zimmermann, for allegedly violating the Arms Export Control Act.

The patent would have expired on September 21, 2000 ( the term of patent was 17 years at the time ), but the algorithm was released to the public domain by RSA Security on 6 September 2000, two weeks earlier.

RC4 was designed by Ron Rivest of RSA Security in 1987.

RSA Security has never officially released the algorithm ; Rivest has, however, linked to the English Wikipedia article on RC4 in his own course notes.

He also touches on the commercialization of cryptography with RSA Data Security and VeriSign.

He also speaks at numerous conferences and trade shows, including DEF CON, RSA Data Security Conference, on various topics in the computer security field, and has appeared on the cover of Wired Magazine, in numerous television, radio, and print articles on HavenCo and Sealand.

* Details of the RSADSI ( RSA Data Security, Inc .) cryptographic algorithm software were revealed, probably deliberately, through publication of alleged RC4 source on Usenet.

( RC3 was broken at RSA Security during development ; similarly, RC1 was never published.

The software development and computer services side of the industry also thrives in Bracknell Forest and includes companies like Cable and Wireless, Honeywell, Avnet, Novell, and RSA Security.

RSA Security, which has a patent on the algorithm, offered a series of US $ 10, 000 prizes for breaking ciphertexts encrypted with RC5, but these contests have been discontinued as of May 2007.

It is a proprietary algorithm, patented by RSA Security.

SecurID, now known as RSA SecurID, is a mechanism developed by Security Dynamics ( later RSA Security and now RSA, The Security Division of EMC ) for performing two-factor authentication for a user to a network resource.
