Anthropic Says Claude Traced NIST Curve Seeds to 1990s Timestamps
The finding is not a cryptographic break; published code covers five NIST prime-curve seeds and four binary-curve seeds.
AI summary
Anthropic reported that its Claude model traced the seeds of several NIST elliptic curves to timestamps from the 1990s. The published code covers five NIST prime-curve seeds and four binary-curve seeds, but the finding is not a cryptographic break. This is a technical curiosity with no direct implications for crypto asset prices or market confidence.
