Anthropic's AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, has identified significant vulnerabilities in two cryptographic designs. The model found a weakness in the HAWK-256 post-quantum signature scheme, reducing its estimated security strength considerably. Additionally, Mythos developed a new technique that accelerates a known attack on a reduced-round version of AES-128 by hundreds of times. Anthropic emphasized that these findings do not impact current production systems and have undergone rigorous verification. AI
