Claude model identifies potential benign origins for NSA's crypto seeds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic's Claude model has identified potential benign origins for secret seed values used in elliptic curve cryptography. The analysis suggests these values, previously thought to be chosen by the NSA, might have originated from a basic pseudorandom number generator. AI

IMPACT AI models are beginning to contribute to fundamental cryptographic research by identifying potential origins of sensitive parameters.
