Hellman is best known for his invention, with Diffie and Merkle, of public key cryptography, the technology that, among other uses, enables secure Internet transactions.

Bio. Martin E. Hellman is Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University and is affiliated with the university's Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC). His most recent work, "Rethinking National Security," identifies a number of questionable assumptions that are largely taken as axiomatic truths.

Martin E. Hellman is professor emeritus of electrical engineering at Stanford, a recipient (joint with Whit Diffie) of the million dollar ACM Turing Award, a member of the National Academy of Engineering, and an inductee of the National Inventors Hall of Fame. He became a CISAC affiliated faculty member in October 2012.

Public-key cryptography pioneer and Stanford University Electrical Engineering Professor Emeritus Martin Edward Hellman was born in 1945 and grew up in the Bronx borough of New York City. His father was a high school physics teacher, whose influence and collection of books helped to inspire Hellman’s early interest in science and mathematics.

Stanford Professor Martin Hellman is best known for his invention (joint with Whitfield Diffie and Ralph Merkle) of public key cryptography, the technology that protects trillions of dollars every day. This work won him the ACM Turing Award, sometimes thought of as “the Nobel Prize in Computer Science.”. Professor Hellman also has a deep ...

He is a cryptologist, professor, and computer privacy advocate. In 1976, he published, with Whitfield Diffie, New Directions in Cryptography, a groundbreaking paper that introduced a radically new method of distributing cryptographic keys. This method enabled secure communications over an insecure channel without prearrangement of a secret key.
