The next target for Lenstra is factoring RSA 768-bit and eventually 1024-bit numbers. But even before those milestones are met, Web sites should be looking toward stronger encryption than RSA 1024 ...

“It’s been recommended to move from 1024-bit [encryption] for a long time, and now there are very concrete risks of not doing that,” says Nadia Heninger, an assistant professor of computer ...

Research suggests that most organisations are using 1024-bit RSA encryption and above, with some using 4096-bit encryption and 2048-bit encryption now the default.

Businesses should start leaning on vendors now to upgrade applications that use less than 1024-bit encryption before it's too late.

Researchers are closing in on deciphering 1,024-bit RSA encryption, security industry watchers said following an unprecedented numbers-cracking feat by a group of French, German, and Japanese ...

A 307-digit composite Mersenne number has been broken down into primes, and 1024-bit RSA keys are next, according to encryption researchers. Researchers from the University of Lausanne, the ...

Researchers warn that many 1024-bit keys used to secure communications on the Internet today might be based on prime numbers that have been intentionally backdoored in an undetectable way.

However, 1024-bit Diffie-Hellman remains supported for the forseeable future despite its vulnerability to NSA surveillance.

The National Security Agency may be capable of spying through web browsers using 1024-bit Diffie-Hellman encryption, as some reports claim. Find out how to stop them in their tracks.

Prodded by "concerns about overbroad government surveillance," Google beat an end-of-year deadline to retire Web certificates with less secure 1,024-bit encryption keys.

It's relatively easy for the National Security Agency's spooks to break outdated Web encryption after vacuuming up data from fiber taps, cryptographers say. But Facebook is still using it.
