An Information-centric Approach to Security.

Security for Innovation

RSA was founded by (and named after) the inventors of public key cryptography: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman. Their innovation, the RSA algorithm, solved a daunting challenge in network security: how to enable secure yet transparent exchange of encrypted communications between users and enterprises that are strangers to each other.

A quarter-century later, the RSA algorithm is a foundation of network and Internet security and a key enabler of e-commerce. It is the most widely used method of implementing public key cryptography and has been deployed in more than one billion applications worldwide.

Another key RSA innovation, time-synchronous authentication, which was invented in 1986, has also demonstrated remarkable longevity. As the technology that underlies many of the company’s strong authentication solutions, including RSA SecurID® tokens, time-synchronous authentication allows enterprises to verify a user’s identity with a high degree of certainty.
