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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
