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.

Probably not. Since both are involved in crypto he courts would find that
there is sufficient overlap to prevent it.
I stumbled on a good example of the thinking the other day doing a search on
"Mighty Mouse" and came across a link where they lost a case to a company
who producted a product Might-Y-Mouse (or something like that). It's summary
was quite good and easy to understand.
Go to google.com and try it.
