Claude solves 25-year-old NSA cryptography puzzle in under 30 minutes

Anthropic's Claude AI model solved a 25-year-old cryptography mystery involving mysterious seeds in NIST's standard curves for digital signatures. The model determined in under 30 minutes that the seeds originated from lrand48, a simple C random number generator, making deliberate backdoors far less likely.
