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 ...

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 ...

Anthropic said its Mythos model—which currently remains available only to a select group of trusted users—was able to advance attacks against two cryptosystems. The first system is HAWK, a digital ...

Are there exportation limitations for AES data encryption? Lots of laptop vendors now offer this kind of disk encryption as a feature. And does it matter if it's 256 or lower levels? The Advanced ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the previous blog post, “Embedded Security Using Cryptography”, we looked at how cryptography can be used for securing assets in embedded systems and ensure confidentiality, integrity and ...

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