Stephen Pohlig
Stephen Pohlig is an electrical engineer currently working at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. As a graduate student of Martin Hellman's at Stanford University in the mid-1970s, he helped develop the underlying concepts of Diffie-Hellman key exchange,[1] including the Pohlig–Hellman exponentiation cipher and the Pohlig–Hellman algorithm[2] for computing discrete logarithms.
