Eli Biham

Biham received his Ph.D. for inventing (publicly) Differential Cryptanalysis , while working under Adi Shamir . It had, it turned out, been invented at least twice before. A team at IBM discovered it during their work on DES , and was requested/required to keep their discovery secret by the NSA , who evidently knew about it as well.

In addition to his many contributions to cryptanalysis, Biham has taken part in the design of several new cryptographic primitives:

Serpent (with Ross Anderson and Lars Knudsen ), a Block Cipher which was one of the final five contenders to become the Advanced Encryption Standard

Tiger (with Ross Anderson ), a Hash Function fast on 64-bit machines, and

Py (with Jennifer Seberry ), a fast Stream Cipher which has some cryptanalytic claims against it.
