🔐 Claude Code Helps Debug Complex Cryptographic Implementations
A compelling example of AI augmenting secure software development—showing that LLMs can speed up deep technical debugging without replacing human insight.
Filippo Valsorda recounts how Anthropic’s Claude Code assisted in debugging a Go-based ML-DSA implementation, a post-quantum signature algorithm. The AI identified subtle logic flaws missed by manual inspection and consistently diagnosed errors across multiple tests, demonstrating how LLMs can accelerate low-level debugging.
