Claude AI traces NIST P-256 elliptic curve seed to 1997 random number generator

Anthropic's Claude AI model successfully traced the previously unexplained seed values for the NIST P-256 elliptic curve to a basic random number generator program from 1997, resolving a 25-year cryptographic mystery that had fueled backdoor speculation.
