Dan Boneh (/boʊˈneɪ/; Hebrew: דן בונה) is an Israeli–American professor in applied cryptography and computer security at Stanford University.

In 2016, Boneh was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for contributions to the theory and practice of cryptography and computer security.

Born in Israel in 1969,[citation needed] Boneh obtained his Ph.D. in computer science from Princeton University in 1996 under the supervision of Richard J.

[1][2] Boneh is one of the principal contributors to the development of pairing-based cryptography, along with Matt Franklin of the University of California, Davis.

In 2010 Boneh (with Shweta Agrawal and Xavier Boyen) introduced an IBE scheme from the learning with errors assumption.
