RSA, The Security Division of EMC Corporation, is headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts, United States, and maintains offices in Ireland, Israel, the United Kingdom, Singapore, India, and Japan.

RSA organizes the annual RSA Conference. RSA's well-known products include the RSA BSAFE cryptography libraries and the SecurID authentication token.

RSA was named after the RSA public key cryptography algorithm, which was in turn named after the initials of its co-inventors: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Len Adleman.

History

*In 1995 RSA sent a handful of people across the hall to found Digital Certificates International better known as VeriSign.
*The company then called "Security Dynamics" acquired "RSA Data Security" in July 1996 and "DynaSoft AB" in 1997.
*In January 1997 it proposed the first of the DES Challenges which led to the first public breaking of a message based on the Data Encryption Standard.
*In February 2001, it acquired "Xcert International, Inc.", a privately held company that developed and delivered digital certificate-based products for securing e-business transactions.
*In May 2001, it acquired "3-G International, Inc.", a privately held company that developed and delivered smart card and biometric authentication products.
*In August 2001, it acquired "Securant Technologies, Inc.", a privately held company that produced ClearTrust, an identity management product.
*In December 2005, it acquired "Cyota", a privately held company specializing in online security and anti-fraud solutions for financial institutions.
*In April 2006 it acquired "PassMark Security"
*On June 29, 2006 it was announced that EMC Corporation will acquire RSA Security for $2.1 billion. [http://www.rsasecurity.com/press_release.asp?doc_id=6983]
*On September 14, 2006 RSA stockholders approved the acquisition of the company by EMC Corporation [http://www.emc.com/news/emc_releases/showRelease.jsp?id=4605&l=en&c=US] [http://www.rsasecurity.com/press_release.asp?doc_id=7317&id=1034]
*On 2007 RSA acquired Valyd Software, a Hyderabad based Indian company specializing in File and Data Security .
