CryptanalysisBench tests whether LLMs can break 191 real cryptographic schemes
The paper introduces CryptanalysisBench, a benchmark at the intersection of AI, math, and cybersecurity.
- It evaluates whether LLMs can perform cryptanalysis on 191 real schemes drawn from past standardization efforts.
- The authors frame cryptanalysis as a key link between AI progress in math and cyber, with direct relevance to digital security.
- The work suggests that LLMs are increasingly capable of assisting with this kind of security analysis.
