  • Anthropic: Claude Traces NIST ECDSA Curve Seeds to PRNG, Easing Backdoor Fears

    Anthropic reported that its Claude research model reverse-engineered the generation of five NIST elliptic curve seeds in under half an hour, without prior hints. The seeds were traced to the lrand48 pseudorandom number generator, seeded by a Unix timestamp, challenging decades-old suspicions of an NSA backdoor. The finding was independently verified by the bounty sponsor and lowers concerns about hidden weaknesses in the curves.
