Claude Mythos found mathematical weaknesses in HAWK (halving key strength) and reduced-round AES (200-800x faster attack). Both discovered mostly autonomously. No production systems affected. Each ...

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 ...

There’s little doubt that some of the most important pillars of modern cryptography will tumble spectacularly once quantum computing, now in its infancy, matures sufficiently. Some experts say that ...

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 ...

Modern internet security relies heavily on mathematical problems that ordinary computers cannot solve within a useful time. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer would approach some of those ...

Quantum computing will reshape encryption, but not overnight, and a disciplined, phased approach lets organizations modernize cryptographic foundations without disruption while strengthening security ...
