Single community source: Hacker News.
A researcher documented how Anthropic's Claude AI was prompted to reveal the origins and mathematical properties of ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) curves. The analysis, published on filippo.io, appears to explore what information Claude will disclose about cryptographic standards when directly questioned.
This demonstrates how large language models can be used to extract and explain technical information about cryptographic systems, and potentially highlights considerations around AI transparency and information disclosure for sensitive technical standards.
