Born in Israel in 1969, Boneh obtained his Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science from Princeton University in 1996 (under the supervision of Richard J Lipton).
He is a Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He teaches two massive open online courses on the online learning platform Coursera, namely Computer Security, Cryptography I and plans to teach a third (Cryptography II). Boneh is one of the principal contributors to the development of pairing-based cryptography from the Weil Pairing, along with Doctor Matt Franklin of the University of California at Davis.
Cryptography
Some of Boneh"s results in cryptography include:
2015 Privacy-preserving proofs of solvency for Bitcoin exchanges
2010 He was involved in designing tcpcrypt, TCP extensions for transport-level security
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.
1999 Cryptanalysis of Republic of South Africa 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 deoxyribonucleic acid computer (with Christopher Dunworth and Richard J Lipton)
Computer security
Some of his contributions in computer security include:
2007 "Show that the time web sites take to respond to HTTP requests can leak private information."
2005 PwdHash a browser extension that transparently produces a different password for each site.
