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 ...

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric block cipher chosen by the U.S. government to protect classified information. AES uses 128-, 192- or 256-bit keys to encrypt and decrypt data. The ...

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 ...

Cryptography is one area of information security that is well known but often not well understood. The basics of the algorithms may stay the same, but as attacks and infections evolve, so too must the ...

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 ...

Software developers are usually told to ‘never write your own cryptography’, and there definitely are sufficient examples to be found in the past decades of cases where DIY crypto routines caused real ...

During a research-led test, Claude Mythos Preview was able to detect new ways to attack cryptographic algorithms. — MARISSA LESHNOV/The New York Times WASHINGTON: A leading artificial intelligence (AI ...

In the digital era and moving towards quantum computing, protecting data against hack attacks is one of our biggest challenges—and one that experts, governments, and industries worldwide work hard to ...
