Anthropic's Claude reconstructs P-256 public seed from 1997 timestamp, easing NSA backdoor concerns

Anthropic's AI model Claude has reproduced the public seed for the P-256 elliptic curve using a timestamp-based generator initialized with August 16, 1997 data, providing a repeatable method for the curve's public constant. This finding, linked to Ethereum's EIP-7951 for passkey signing, addresses longstanding suspicions that the NSA may have deliberately weakened cryptographic parameters, though the specific selection criteria and the origin of the curve's base point remain unresolved.
