www.nytimes.comAnthropic A.I. Model Finds Flaws in Tough-to-Crack Encryption Algorithms (Gift Article)Claude Mythos Preview discovered new attacks in testing against weakened cryptographic algorithms, which protect online financial transactions, private communications and more.
A leading A.I. model built by Anthropic has found flaws in a weakened version of a digital encryption standard that is in pervasive use throughout the internet
a weakened version? whats the point?
Instead, Anthropic’s technology cracked a watered-down version of an algorithm for Advanced Encryption Standard, or A.E.S., a ubiquitous protocol that safeguards web traffic, wireless networks, data storage and more
it cracked nothing. I could write an encryption algorithm. it would be cracked in minutes. so whats the point
