I Built a Stream to Track Frontier Research in AI vs Cryptography

I've been following research on how advances in AI are changing what's possible in cryptanalysis and cryptographic security.

There's a lot of interesting work happening at this intersection. Researchers are exploring how AI can assist with cryptanalysis, identify weaknesses in cryptographic schemes, and help evaluate security assumptions that have traditionally relied on extensive manual analysis.

One area I'm particularly interested in is whether AI can meaningfully accelerate the discovery of new attacks, especially against modern and post-quantum cryptographic systems.

The challenge is keeping track of the actual research. Relevant results appear across academic papers, conference proceedings, preprint servers, research blogs, and sometimes GitHub repositories. It's easy to miss something important.

So I created AI vs Cryptography, a public research stream on Monstream, to continuously track frontier research and new results in this area.

What the stream tracks

The focus is specifically on how AI is being applied to cryptography and cryptographic security:

• AI-assisted cryptanalysis: Research on using AI to analyze cryptographic algorithms and explore potential weaknesses.
• New attacks and security results: Developments where AI contributes to discovering or improving cryptanalytic techniques.
• Post-quantum cryptography: Research on how AI-assisted methods affect the security evaluation of PQC schemes.
• Automated security analysis: New approaches to evaluating cryptographic implementations and security assumptions using AI.

The stream continuously searches relevant sources and collects new findings as they appear.

Each update includes a short summary, why the result is relevant, and a link to the original source. The idea is to make it easier to follow meaningful developments without having to manually monitor dozens of sources.

Where to follow

AI vs Cryptography — Monstream

I also connected a Telegram channel where the same findings are automatically published:

AI vs Cryptography on Telegram

Both are completely free.

The stream is part of Monstream, a small project I've been working on that lets people follow existing AI research streams or create their own to monitor topics they're interested in.

I'm still experimenting with which sources and research directions are most useful to track.

If you're working on cryptography, AI security, or related research, I'd be interested in hearing what papers, research groups, or sources you think should be included.
