Ueli Maurer (born 26 May 1960[2]) is a professor of cryptography at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich).
Education
[edit]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]
Career
[edit]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]
