  2. RSA Factoring Challenge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_Factoring_Challenge

    The RSA Factoring Challenge was a challenge put forward by RSA Laboratories on March 18, 1991 [1] to encourage research into computational number theory and the practical difficulty of factoring large integers and cracking RSA keys used in cryptography. They published a list of semiprimes (numbers with exactly two prime factors) known as the ...

  3. RSA numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_numbers

    RSA numbers. In mathematics, the RSA numbers are a set of large semiprimes (numbers with exactly two prime factors) that were part of the RSA Factoring Challenge. The challenge was to find the prime factors of each number. It was created by RSA Laboratories in March 1991 to encourage research into computational number theory and the practical ...

  4. RSA (cryptosystem) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)

    An 829-bit key has been broken. RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is a public-key cryptosystem, one of the oldest widely used for secure data transmission. The initialism "RSA" comes from the surnames of Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, who publicly described the algorithm in 1977. An equivalent system was developed secretly in 1973 at ...

  5. RSA problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_problem

    RSA problem. In cryptography, the RSA problem summarizes the task of performing an RSA private-key operation given only the public key. The RSA algorithm raises a message to an exponent, modulo a composite number N whose factors are not known. Thus, the task can be neatly described as finding the eth roots of an arbitrary number, modulo N.

  6. Integer factorization records - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization_records

    Integer factorization records. Integer factorization is the process of determining which prime numbers divide a given positive integer. Doing this quickly has applications in cryptography. The difficulty depends on both the size and form of the number and its prime factors; it is currently very difficult to factorize large semiprimes (and ...

  7. Shor's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor's_algorithm

    Shor proposed multiple similar algorithms for solving the factoring problem, the discrete logarithm problem, and the period-finding problem. "Shor's algorithm" usually refers to the factoring algorithm, but may refer to any of the three algorithms. The discrete logarithm algorithm and the factoring algorithm are instances of the period-finding ...

  8. Integer factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

    Every positive integer greater than 1 is either the product of two or more integer factors greater than 1, in which case it is called a composite number, or it is not, in which case it is called a prime number. For example, 15 is a composite number because 15 = 3 · 5, but 7 is a prime number because it cannot be decomposed in this way.

  9. Texas Instruments signing key controversy - Wikipedia

    The value d can then be used to sign arbitrary OS software. The keys factored by RSA Lattice Siever (the TI-92+, TI-73, TI-89, Voyage 200, TI-89 Titanium, TI-84+ / TI-84 Silver Edition OS signing and date-stamp signing keys) are similar but with different values of n, p, q, and d. A single date-stamp signing key is shared by all models.
