Dan Boneh (play /bˈn/; Hebrew: דן בונה‎) is a 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.

Contents

[edit] Education

Born in Israel in 1969, Boneh obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Princeton University in 1996 (under the supervision of Richard J. Lipton).

[edit] Research

Boneh is one of the principal contributors to the development of pairing-based cryptography from the Weil Pairing, along with Dr. Matt Franklin of the University of California at Davis.

[edit] Cryptography

Some of his notable achievements in cryptography include:

  • 2010 He was involved in designing tcpcrypt, TCP extensions for transport-level security[1][2]
  • 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.[3]
  • 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 J. Lipton and Richard DeMillo)
  • 1995 Collusion resistant fingerprinting codes for digital data (with James Shaw)
  • 1995 Cryptanalysis using a DNA computer (with Christopher Dunworth and Richard J. Lipton)

[edit] Computer Security

Some of his notable contributions in computer security include:

  • 2007 Exposing private information by timing web applications.[4]
  • 2005 PwdHash a browser extension that transparently produces a different password for each site[5][6]

[edit] Awards

Boneh has received a number of awards, including the following:

  • The Packard Award
  • The Alfred P. Sloan Award
  • the Terman Award
  • The RSA Award

[edit] Industry

In 2000, Boneh co-founded Ingrian Networks with Roy Thiele-Sardiña and Rajeev Chawla.

In 2002, Boneh co-founded Voltage Security.[7]
