Adi Shamir is recognized among Jewish contributors to Technology & Engineering — RSA Cryptography (Co-inventor)
Shamir, an Israeli Jewish cryptographer at the Weizmann Institute, co-invented the RSA public-key cryptosystem in 1977 with Ronald Rivest and Leonard Adleman — the 'S' in RSA — making secure digital communication and e-commerce possible. For this foundational work he shared the 2002 Turing Award. He also developed secret-sharing schemes and differential cryptanalysis.
