RSA cryptography, which is one of the typical public key cryptosystems, is a cryptosystem based on the fact that it is difficult to factor a composite number with a large number of digits into prime ...

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 ...
