Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview model has identified vulnerabilities in cryptographic algorithms, including the post-quantum signature scheme HAWK and a weakened version of AES. While these findings do not pose an immediate threat to current systems, they highlight the growing capability of AI models to discover complex mathematical weaknesses. The research involved multi-agent collaboration for HAWK and autonomous hypothesis testing for AES, costing approximately $100,000 in API usage for each discovery. AI
IMPACT Highlights AI's growing capability in discovering complex mathematical weaknesses, potentially impacting future security standards.
