Dan Boneh (/boʊˈneɪ/; Hebrew: דן בונה‎) is a researcher in applied cryptography and computer security. He is a Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University.[1][2] He teaches two massive open online courses on the online learning platform Coursera, namely Computer Security,[3] Cryptography I[4] and plans to teach a third (Cryptography II[5]).

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).[6][7]

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.[8]

Cryptography

Some of Boneh's results in cryptography include:

  • 2010 He was involved in designing tcpcrypt, TCP extensions for transport-level security[9][10]
  • 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.[11]
  • 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)

Computer security

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."[12]
  • 2005 PwdHash a browser extension that transparently produces a different password for each site[13][14]

Awards

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