Claude traces NIST P-256 seed to a 1997 random number generator run
The discovery underscores the potential of AI in unraveling cryptographic mysteries, prompting a reevaluation of legacy systems' transparency. The post Claude traces NIST P-256 seed to a 1997 random number generator run appeared first on Crypto Briefing.
AI summary
An AI model traced the seed used to generate the NIST P-256 elliptic curve to a 1997 random number generator run. The finding highlights how AI can help audit cryptographic standards and raises questions about the transparency of legacy systems. There is no direct market impact, but the story matters to traders only insofar as it touches on the integrity of widely used cryptography.
