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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a widely adopted and symmetric encryption algorithm standard used while securing data. It is a cryptographic standard, which was established by the US National ...

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 US now has four post-quantum cryptographic algorithms it plans to make part of a new set of public-key cryptography standards by 2024. The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of ...

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 ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks public input on the proposed changes until June 25, 2025. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently proposed ...
