A panel at the RSA Conference yesterday took up that topic, with legendary cryptographers Whitfield Diffie and Ron Rivest on hand to render judgment on an explosive research paper entitled "Ron was wrong, Whit is right," that blasts the RSA cryptosystem co-invented by Rivest and saying crypto techniques pioneered by Diffie are better.
