@agreeable_landfall@mastodon.social @cryptomancer @CryptoOrrDun@ioc.exchange What concerns me is a Kobayashi Maru sort of scenario, where instead of finding a crack in an algorithm the LLM hacks the researchers' accounts and steals the file with the secret key or the plaintext, all unknown to the researchers.

@SteveBellovin@infosec.exchange @cryptomancer @CryptoOrrDun@ioc.exchange But the LLM would have to get into the HSM first, right? I mean, no one would leave keys just lying around in a filesystem, would they? And if they did, that tells me more about their skill than their PR release. Key management is _hard_. Mostly because it's a Layer 8 problem.
