| | HIPAA tech: RSA Releases Encryption Algorithm into Public |
 | | The U.S. patent for the RSA algorithm (# 4,405,829, "Cryptographic Communications System And Method") was issued to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on September 20, 1983, licensed exclusively to RSA Security and expires on September 20, 2000. |
 | | Releasing the RSA algorithm into the public domain now is a symbolic next step in the evolution of this market, as we believe it will cement the position of RSA encryption as the standard in all categories of wired and wireless applications and devices. |
 | | In recent years, encryption technology has taken on an entirely new level of importance in the world of business and consumer technology, and RSA Security continues to be a leader in the industry. |
