The company said Claude was able to identify novel attacks against cryptographic schemes submitted to international standardisation efforts, with its findings subsequently reviewed and validated by human experts. According to Anthropic, the research demonstrates how AI can augment, rather than replace, specialist security researchers by accelerating the discovery of subtle vulnerabilities.
