Biography

Dan Boneh is recognized among Israeli contributors to Technology & Engineering — Israeli-born pioneer of pairing-based cryptography securing the modern web; Gödel Prize (2013)

How & why

Boneh, an Israeli-American cryptographer at Stanford, is a principal architect of pairing-based cryptography: with Matthew Franklin he built the first practical identity-based encryption scheme, enabling compact signatures and much of the cryptography that secures the modern web and blockchains. He shared the 2013 Gödel Prize for this work. Born in Israel in 1969, he earned his PhD at Princeton and has taught at Stanford since 1997.
