Claude traces the origins of NIST elliptic-curve seeds

Anthropic reports that an internal Claude research model traced NIST elliptic-curve seeds to the lrand48 random-number generator initialized with Unix timestamps. The finding addresses a longstanding provenance question and does not constitute a cryptographic break or a newly discovered weakness.
