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 ...

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 ...

In the last several days, headlines have been plastered all over the internet regarding Chinese researchers using D-Wave quantum computers to hack RSA, AES, and "military-grade encryption." This is ...

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 ...

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 ...
