Ueli Maurer (born 26 May 1960 [2] ) is a professor of cryptography at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich).
Maurer studied electrical engineering at ETH Zurich and obtained his PhD in 1990, [2] advised by James Massey. [3] He joined Princeton University as a postdoc from 1990 to 1991. [2]
In a seminal work,he showed that the Diffie-Hellman problem is (under certain conditions) equivalent to solving the discrete log problem. [4]
From 2002 until 2008,Maurer also served on the board of Tamedia AG. [5]
Maurer was appointed editor-in-chief of the Journal of Cryptology in 2002 [6] for a three-year term. [7] He was reappointed to a second three-year term as editor-in-chief of the same journal from 2005. [8]
In 2008,Maurer was named a Fellow of the International Association for Cryptologic Research "for fundamental contributions to information-theoretic cryptography,service to the IACR,and sustained educational leadership in cryptology." [9] In 2015,he was named a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery "for contributions to cryptography and information security." [10] In 2016,he was awarded the RSA Award for Excellence in Mathematics. [11]
