Cryptography

Cryptography secures digital communication and data, and AI is reshaping it from both sides — powering new attacks on cryptographic systems while accelerating the post-quantum methods designed to withstand them. This hub follows research, standards, and industry news at the intersection of AI and cryptography, including encryption, key management, and quantum-safe security.

What Is Post-Quantum Cryptography — and Why Does It Matter Now?

1 August 2026

Quantum computers could someday break the encryption protecting today's data. Post-quantum cryptography is the industry's answer — how it works and why the shift is already underway.

Claude Mythos AI Finds Flaw in Post-Quantum HAWK Cipher

1 August 2026

Anthropic says its unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model autonomously found a flaw that halves the effective security of the post-quantum HAWK signature scheme, a weakness two years of human review had missed.
