Diffie–Hellman (DH) key exchange [nb 1] is a mathematical method of securely exchanging cryptographic keys over a public channel and was one of the first public-key protocols as conceived by Ralph Merkle and named after Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman. [1] [2] DH is one of the earliest practical examples of public key exchange implemented ...
May 22, 2024 · Whitfield Diffie was born on 5 June 1944 in Washington, D.C. to Bailey Wallys Diffie, a professor of history at the City College of New York, and Justine Louise Whitfield, a writer and expert on Madame de Sévigné.

Mar 1, 2016 · Stanford cyber-security innovators Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman, who brought cryptography from the shadowy realm of classified espionage into the public space and created a major breakthrough that enabled modern e-commerce and secure communications over the Internet, are being honored with the Association for Computing Machinery's 2015 A.M. Turing Award.

Nov 1, 1994 · Born in 1944, he was the sole offspring of Bailey Wallace Diffie and Justine Louise Whitfield. They had met as foreign service workers in Madrid in the 1920s and married in Paris in 1928.
Other articles where Whitfield Diffie is discussed: cryptology: Public-key cryptography: , computer engineer Whitfield Diffie and Stanford University electrical engineer Martin Hellman realized that the key distribution problem could be almost completely solved if a cryptosystem, T (and perhaps an inverse system, T′), could be devised that used two keys and satisfied the following conditions:
