Quoting Matthew Green

Cryptographer Matthew Green points out we're in a historic transition from traditional encryption methods like RSA toward new post-quantum algorithms—and right now, as cryptographic standards are being chosen, AI's cryptanalysis abilities are improving. Green sees this timing as potentially fortunate: if AI can't break these new mathematical foundations, we gain real confidence they're genuinely hard to crack. In the best case, he says, the result is a more robust body of cryptanalysis research.
