Dan Boneh
Dan Boneh is a Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, where he heads the Applied Cryptography Group and co-directs the Stanford Computer Security Lab and Center for Blockchain Research. He is best known for his pioneering work in pairing-based cryptography, particularly the development of identity-based encryption in collaboration with Matt Franklin, which allows a user's public identity such as an email address to function as their public key. He is a recipient of the 2014 ACM Prize in Computing and the 2013 Gödel Prize, and has authored over 200 publications in cryptography and computer security.
