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.
