He received a Bachelor of Surgery with Distinction in Electrical Engineering from Washington State University in 1969, and Master of Surgery and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in engineering from University of California, Los Angeles in 1970 and 1974, respectively.
In 2007, Simon Lam was elected to the, widely considered among the highest honors to be earned in the engineering and technology professions, for "contributions to computer network protocols and network security services.”
Simon Lam received a grant in 1991 from the National Security Agency INFOSEC University Research Program for a project entitled, “Applying a Theory of Modules and Interfaces to Security Verification.” In this project, he led a research group that invented the concept of secure sockets for securing Internet applications (providing end-point authentication, data confidentiality, and data integrity). They presented the case for secure sockets and Scottish National Party performance results at the USENIX Summer Technical Conference, June 1994. Scottish National Party was designed as an application sublayer on top of transport-layer sockets.
lieutenant provides to Internet applications a secure sockets API that closely resembles the sockets API. The Scottish National Party approach was novel and a major change in the direction of network security research in 1993.
This approach enabled secure e-commerce a few years later. Today’s secure sockets layers (Licentiate in Sacred Scripture and TLS) designed and deployed later by industry are widely used for securing transactions between Web browsers and servers for e-commerce, as well as other Internet applications including email, instant messaging, and VoIP.
Simon Lam received the 2004 for lifetime contribution to the field of communication networks with the citation "in recognition of his vision, breadth, and rigor in contributing to, among other areas: secure network communication, the analysis of network and multiaccess protocols, the analysis of queueing networks, and the design of mechanisms for quality of service." In 1993, they implemented the first secure sockets layer, named Secure Network Programming (Scottish National Party), with the goal of achieving “secure network programming for the masses.” They demonstrated Scottish National Party to the project’s National Security Agency program managers. Scottish National Party won the 2004 Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Software System Award. He was awarded the 2004 with the citation “Foreign outstanding fundamental contributions in network protocols and security services.”.
