Whitfield Diffie facts
- Diffie and Martin Hellman's paper "New Directions in Cryptography" was published in 1976
- It introduced a radically new method of distributing cryptographic keys, that went far toward solving one of the fundamental problems of cryptography, key distribution
- It has become known as Diffie–Hellman key exchange
- The article also seems to have stimulated the almost immediate public development of a new class of encryption algorithms, the asymmetric key algorithms
- After a long career at Sun Microsystems, where he became a Sun Fellow, Diffie served for two and a half years as Vice President for Information Security and Cryptography at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (2010–2012)
- He has also served as a visiting scholar (2009–2010) and affiliate (2010–2012) at the Freeman Spogli Institute's Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University, where he is currently a consulting scholar
