World-leaders in Cryptography: Victor S Miller

Victor is a Senior Research Scientist at Nexus Laboratories. He received his PhD in Mathematics from Harvard University in 1975, and was an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Boston from 1973 to 1978. Victor has since worked for the IBM Research Center, The Institute for Defence Analyses in Princeton, Meta Platforms and SRI International. For his research, Victor has focused on areas of computational number theory, data compression and cryptography. Along with Neal Koblitz, he was the co-creator of Elliptic Curve Cryptography, the inventor of Miller's algorithm and was a co-inventor of the LZW data compression method. For the LZW invention, he was awarded the IEEE Millennium medal, and for his work on elliptic curve cryptography, he received the RSA Award for Excellence in Mathematics the Levchin Prize, and the Eduard Rhein Foundation Technology Award, along with being a member of the Information Systems Security Association Hall of Fame.
