## Abstract (arXiv)

This paper examines the erosion of Public Key Cryptography (PKC) security under adaptive adversarial optimisation driven by artificial intelligence. The problem addressed is the growing mismatch between algorithm-centric cryptographic security models and operational attack realities, where adversaries exploit implementation-level observability rather than breaking cryptographic primitives.
