### AI overview

The article offers commentary on two cryptanalysis results published by Anthropic and produced by Claude Mythos: an attack on the proposed HAWK post-quantum signature scheme and an improved attack on reduced-round AES. It emphasizes that the HAWK attack targets a non-deployed, non-standardized scheme and demonstrates a weakness using a weakened challenge instance.

### Source excerpt

Yesterday Anthropic published two new cryptanalysis results, both outputs of Claude Mythos, their (still) unreleased advanced model. The first of these results attacks a signature scheme called HAWK, while the second is an improved attack against reduced-round AES. Anthropic also released a blog post describing the research process that produced these results. A few people ... Continue reading Some thoughts about Anthropic's new cryptanalysis results ->

### AI overview

The author announces a short Communications of the ACM article with Mary Ellen Zurko about the need for more research into secure development tools and techniques. The author says the science of building an effective Secure Development Lifecycle is still developing.

### Source excerpt

Most of my time, I'm helping organizations develop the skills and discipline to build security in. We give the best advice available, and I recognize that we're early in developing the science around how to build an SDL that works.

### AI overview

An academic discusses whether prospective Ph.D. applicants should email professors during admissions season. The article argues that such emails increase faculty workload but generally do not improve an applicant's admission chances, although targeted and thoughtful messages may receive a response.
