P-256
Claude traced five unexplained seeds for the NIST elliptic curve P‑256. The National Security Agency supplied seeds for the NIST curve P‑256. The National Institute of Standards and Technology defines the NIST elliptic‑curve curve P‑256. Claude reconstructed the public seed of the P-256 elliptic curve from a timestamp‑based generator Advancing lrand48 to candidate 1,842 produced the published P‑256 public seed value P‑256 is a NIST‑standardized elliptic curve supported for Ethereum passkey signing EIP‑7951 specifies the verification of signatures using the P‑256 curve P‑256 differs from the secp256k1 curve that is already used in Ethereum Unexplained seeds supplied by the U.S. National Security Agency fueled suspicion about the origin of the P‑256 curve· Entity summary generated by Graphiti
