Mythos takes its first shot at post-quantum cryptography

Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview model has helped researchers discover ways to speed up attacks against two widely studied cryptographic algorithms. One of the targets is Hawk, a candidate for post-quantum digital signature algorithms currently being evaluated by NIST, while the other improves the best previously known attack against a weakened version of the widely used Advanced Encryption Standard ( AES ). Neither finding compromises production deployments nor weakens the security of real-wor
