World-leaders in Cryptography: Marty Hellman

This seminar series runs for students on the Applied Cryptography and Trust module, but invites guests from students from across the university.

Martin is one of the co-creators of public key encryption, and worked alongside Whitfield Diffie in the creation of the widely used Diffie-Hellman method. In 2015, he was presented with the ACM Turing Award (the equivalent of a Nobel Prize in Computer Science) for his contribution to computer science. He is currently a professor emeritus at Stanford University.
