help Dan Boneh FAQ
What cryptography textbooks or courses did Dan Boneh author?
Dan Boneh co-authored 'A Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography' with Victor Shoup, and his online cryptography course on Coursera was one of the platform's earliest and most popular offerings. He also wrote the textbook 'Boneh-Shoup' which is widely used in graduate-level cryptography curricula.
What is Dan Boneh's contribution to pairing-based cryptography?
Boneh, along with Matt Franklin, proposed the Boneh-Franklin identity-based encryption scheme in 2001, which used bilinear pairings on elliptic curves to enable encryption directly from a public identity string. This work was foundational in making identity-based cryptography practical.
Where does Dan Boneh work and what is his academic title?
Dan Boneh is a professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, where he leads the Applied Cryptography Group. He has been at Stanford since receiving his PhD from Princeton in 1996.
What companies has Dan Boneh been involved with outside academia?
Boneh has been involved with several companies, serving as a co-founder or advisor. Notably, he co-founded Voltage Security (later acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise), which commercialized identity-based encryption technology.
