Claude AI Reportedly Solves 25-Year Mystery Over NSA Encryption Seeds

Anthropic’s Claude artificial intelligence system reportedly unraveled a 25-year-old mystery involving encryption seeds linked to the U.S. National Security Agency, according to Bitcoin.com News.

The report says Claude reached an explanation in under 30 minutes and describes the finding as ordinary rather than evidence of a hidden vulnerability. The supplied excerpt does not detail the explanation or how it was verified.
