Mythos halved HAWK's key strength in 60 hours. It improved attacks on reduced AES by 200-800x, autonomously discovering a technique it named the "Möbius Bridge." Each cost ~$100K. Claude Mythos found ...

Anthropic’s Mythos AI model has helped discover two new cryptanalytic attacks, one against the NIST post-quantum digital signature candidate Hawk, and one against a weakened version of AES; neither ...

With growing focus on the existential threat quantum computing poses to some of the most crucial and widely used forms of encryption, cryptography engineer Filippo Valsorda wants to make one thing ...

Reports began surfacing in October that Chinese researchers used a quantum computer to crack military-grade AES 256-bit encryption. Those reports turned out to be wrong, but that did little to dampen ...
