Analysis of Anthropic's Cryptanalysis Results on HAWK and Reduced-Round AES
Matthew Green analyzes Anthropic's cryptanalysis results, including a key recovery attack on the HAWK post-quantum signature scheme and an improved attack on reduced-round AES. The HAWK attack does not break deployed systems and highlights AI's ability to apply existing tools effectively, while the AES attack represents a minor improvement on older research.
