Dan Boneh (/boʊˈneɪ/; Hebrew: דן בונה‎) is an Israeli–American professor in applied cryptography and computer security at Stanford University.

In 2016, Boneh was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for contributions to the theory and practice of cryptography and computer security.

Biography

Born in Israel in 1969,[citation needed] Boneh obtained his Ph.D. in computer science from Princeton University in 1996 under the supervision of Richard J. Lipton.[1][2]

Boneh is one of the principal contributors to the development of pairing-based cryptography, along with Matt Franklin of the University of California, Davis.[3] He joined the faculty of Stanford University in 1997, and became professor of computer science and electrical engineering.[4][5] He teaches massive open online courses on the online learning platform Coursera.[6] In 1999, he was awarded a fellowship from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.[7] In 2002, he co-founded a company called Voltage Security with three of his students.[8] The company was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 2015.[9][10]

In 2018, Boneh became co-director (with David Mazières) of the newly founded Center for Blockchain Research at Stanford, predicting at the time that "Blockchains will become increasingly critical to doing business globally."[11] Dr. Boneh is also known for putting his entire introductory cryptography course online for free.[12] The course is also available via Coursera.[13]

Awards

  • 2021 Fellow of the American Mathematical Society[14]
  • 2020 Selfridge Prize with Jonathan Love
  • 2016 Elected to the US National Academy of Engineering
  • 2016 Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery[15]
  • 2014 ACM Prize in Computing[16] (formerly called the ACM-Infosys Foundation award[17])
  • 2013 Gödel Prize, with Matthew K. Franklin and Antoine Joux, for his work on the Boneh–Franklin scheme[18]
  • 2005 RSA Award[19]
  • 1999 Sloan Research Fellowship[20]
  • 1999 Packard Award[21]

Publications

Some of Boneh's results in cryptography include:

  • 2018: Verifiable Delay Functions[22]
  • 2015: Privacy-preserving proofs of solvency for Bitcoin exchanges[23]
  • 2010: Efficient Identity-Based Encryption from Learning with Errors Assumption (with Shweta Agrawal and Xavier Boyen)[24]
  • 2010: He was involved in designing tcpcrypt, TCP extensions for transport-level security[25][26]
  • 2005: A partially homomorphic cryptosystem (with Eu-Jin Goh and Kobbi Nissim)[27]
  • 2005: The first broadcast encryption system with full collision 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.[28]
  • 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: Collision resistant fingerprinting codes for digital data (with James Shaw)
  • 1995: Cryptanalysis using a DNA computer (with Christopher Dunworth and Richard J. Lipton)

Some of his contributions in computer security include:

  • 2007: "Show[ing] that the time web sites take to respond to HTTP requests can leak private information."[29]
  • 2005: PwdHash a browser extension that transparently produces a different password for each site[30][31]
