Anthropic AI identifies flaw in HAWK quantum-resistant algorithm
Most outlets reported that Anthropic’s Mythos AI identified a major flaw in the HAWK post-quantum cryptography algorithm, leading to its withdrawal from NIST’s standardisation process. Samaa highlighted the role of the AI in uncovering the flaw, while Daily Times framed the issue as a consequence of AI-assisted security analysis affecting a U.S. cybersecurity standard candidate. Both excerpts omitted specific technical details about the flaw itself.

Anthropic AI exposes flaw in HAWK quantum-resistant algorithm
A post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithm being considered for a future United States cybersecurity standard has been withdrawn after Anthropic’s AI security model, Mythos, helped identify a major security flaw. The algorithm, known as HAWK, was under evaluation by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as part of its effort to develop encryption […]
