Eran Tromer
Eran Tromer is a professor of computer science at Boston University. His research focuses on information security, cryptography and algorithms.[1][2] He is a founding scientist of Zcash.[1][3]
Biography
[edit]Tromer received his PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science.[1] In 2024, he joined Boston University's Hariri Institute for Computing.[2]
Research
[edit]In 2014, Tromer and his colleagues demonstrated an RSA key extraction attack using acoustic cryptanalysis, a type of side-channel attack.[4][3]
In 2014, Tromer coauthored the design of Zerocash,[5] which laid the foundation for the Zcash protocol. The work was recognized by the Test of Time Award at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy.[6]
Awards
[edit]- ACM CCS The Test-of-Time Award (2019)[7]
- IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy Test-of-Time Award (2024)[6][8]
