Couldn't it be called R.S.A. ? There are specific rules for 'what's in a name'.
For example (in certain jurisdictions), in RSA Inc., the "inc." means "a
company" and is NOT part of the corporation name.
RSA or R.S.A. or R-S-A or R.-S.-A. would legally probably be different entities
for they have different word meanings.
IANAL...
