Quoting Matthew Green

Matthew Green comments that AI systems becoming capable at cryptanalysis during the transition to post-quantum algorithms could either strengthen confidence in new standards or expose weaknesses. Green notes this timing is fortuitous since the field is evaluating novel cryptographic problems to replace RSA and elliptic-curve methods. If AI cryptanalysis tools prove robust, the cryptography literature and standardization process could benefit from more thorough public scrutiny.
