Cryptographic Conspiracy Bench

Anthropic's Claude recovered the generation process behind the NIST prime-curve seeds, providing evidence against a backdoor in ECDSA curve origins, according to the newly published Cryptographic Conspiracy Bench. The benchmark counts documented instances where AI models resolve a cryptographic conspiracy by proving it, disproving it, or expanding it, and groups scores by the company behind the model using the same five-company lineup as FelonyBench. Only public results are counted, and Anthropic holds the single documented resolution on the board.

Methodology #

The Cryptographic Conspiracy Bench counts documented instances where AI models help resolve a cryptographic conspiracy, either by proving it, disproving it, or expanding the conspiracy in new directions.

Scores are grouped by the company behind the model, using the same five-company lineup as FelonyBench. Results must be public to be counted.
