Phillip Rogaway (also referred to as Phil Rogaway [1] [2] ) is an American cryptographer who is a professor of computer science at the University of California, Davis. He graduated from Beverly Hills High School, and later earned a BA in computer science from UC Berkeley and completed his PhD in cryptography at MIT, in the Theory of Computation group. He has taught at UC Davis since 1994. He was awarded the Paris Kanellakis Award in 2009 [3] and the first Levchin Prize for Real World Cryptography in 2016. [4] Rogaway received an NSF CAREER award in 1996, which the NSA had attempted to prevent by influencing the NSF. [5]

He has been interviewed in multiple media outlets [6] regarding his stance [7] on the ethical obligations that cryptographers and computer scientists have to serve to the public good, [8] specifically in the areas of internet privacy and digital surveillance. [9]

Rogaway's papers cover topics including:

Don Coppersmith is a cryptographer and mathematician. He was involved in the design of the Data Encryption Standard block cipher at IBM, particularly the design of the S-boxes, strengthening them against differential cryptanalysis. He also improved the quantum Fourier transform discovered by Peter Shor in the same year (1994). He has also worked on algorithms for computing discrete logarithms, the cryptanalysis of RSA, methods for rapid matrix multiplication and IBM's MARS cipher. He is also a co-designer of the SEAL and Scream ciphers.

Joan Daemen is a Belgian cryptographer who is currently professor of digital security at Radboud University. He co-designed with Vincent Rijmen the Rijndael cipher, which was selected as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in 2001. More recently, he co-designed the Keccak cryptographic hash, which was selected as the new SHA-3 hash by NIST in October 2012. He has also designed or co-designed the MMB, Square, SHARK, NOEKEON, 3-Way, and BaseKing block ciphers. In 2017 he won the Levchin Prize for Real World Cryptography "for the development of AES and SHA3". He describes his development of encryption algorithms as creating the bricks which are needed to build the secure foundations online.
