Anthropic's Claude reverse-engineered the generation of NIST P-192 through P-521 seeds in under 30 minutes, confirming they originated from a standard Unix timestamp-based PRNG rather than a backdoor.
Anthropic's Claude identified that NIST ECDSA seeds were generated using the Unix `lrand48` random number generator, confirming no intentional backdoors.
Researchers constructed backdoor attacks using digital lockers that remain provably hard to elicit even with full access to model weights, challenging the reliability of current capability audits.
The GPT-6 Astra model has deciphered an unsolved message from the ADFGVX cipher, used in German wireless communications during World War I.
Claude Fable 5.1 decoded a cipher that had remained unsolved for 370 years in 44 minutes, demonstrating the model's reasoning and persistence capabilities.
An open protocol has been released to detect tampering of AI agent memory files using signatures and append-only logs.
Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview discovered mathematical flaws in cryptographic algorithms themselves, presenting new possibilities for security research.
Even as NIST advances its standardization process for next-generation post-quantum signature algorithms, we should adopt ML-DSA, the best one currently available, right away.
The new Post-Quantum Cryptography Executive Order lays the groundwork for post-quantum security by setting a transition deadline of 2030.
CAJAL-4B-P2PCLAW has released a 4.21B parameter model specialized for distributed systems.
This analyzes the structural similarity between how neural networks process sequences and the Sponge construction in cryptography.
Sensitive AI training data proved vulnerable to membership inference and reconstruction attacks, with DP and MPC serving as defenses.
Key recovery results were shown to be reproducible using only /dev/urandom instead of IBM Quantum.
Toss Payments introduced PQC into its payment services 10 years ahead of schedule without burdening merchants.
AES-128 and SHA-256 remain safe even against quantum computers, and there is no need to change key lengths.
A major OpenSSL 4.0.0 release including ECH support and legacy removals.
OpenSSL 4.0.0 has been released with major feature additions and compatibility changes.
At scale, researchers demonstrated that LLM API routers can intercept requests to carry out injection and exfiltration attacks.
Arm64 AES-256-XTS was verified with HOL Light and added to s2n-bignum.
