🕵️ RESEARCH & DEEP DIVES
- Anthropic's Claude AI cracks post-quantum HAWK-256 and speeds up 7-round AES-128 attack
Anthropic's Claude AI discovered a faster key-recovery attack on HAWK-256, a post-quantum digital signature candidate, by exploiting a previously unknown lattice symmetry, reducing its effective key strength by half.- Attack runtime about 3 hours 42 minutes on a 96-core server; larger HAWK parameters remain secure
- Also improved a meet-in-the-middle attack on 7-round AES-128, though impractical due to high plaintext requirements
