The RSA public-key encryption algorithm and the RSA company aren't the same thing, and nobody's alleging that the RSA PK algorithms are compromised.
This story concerns a specific product (BSAFE, a suite of cryptography libraries) sold by a specific company (RSA, a division of EMC). There are many open-source and other implementations of the RSA public-key encryption algorithm that contain no RSA (the company) code at all.
(Considering what RSA charges for BSAFE -- I've priced it before -- I'm surprised anyone uses it for anything.)
Ok, thanks for the correction. I was very concerned about the possibility of secure http being compromised that would be very very bad. thanks again
