Dan Boneh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dan Boneh is an associate professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He is a well-known researcher in the areas of applied cryptography and computer security. He obtained his PhD in Computer Science from Princeton University in 1996.
Boneh is one of the principal contributors to the development of pairing-based cryptography. Some of his notable achievements include:
- 2005 The first broadcast encryption system with full collusion resistance (with Craig Gentry and Brent Waters)
- 2003 A timing attack on OpenSSL (with David Brumley)
- 2001 An efficient Identity Based Encryption system (with Matt Franklin) based on the Weil pairing.[1]
- 1999 Cryptanalysis of RSA when the private key is less than N0.292 (with Glenn Durfee)
- 1997 Fault-based cryptanalysis of public-key systems (with Richard Lipton and Richard DeMillo)
- 1995 Collusion resistant fingerprinting codes for digital data (with James Shaw)
- 1995 Cryptanalysis using a DNA computer
In 2002, Boneh co-founded Voltage Security.[2]
