  Ron Rivest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor Ronald Linn Rivest (born 1947, Schenectady, New York) is a cryptographer, and is the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Professor of Computer Science at MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
He is most celebrated for his work on public-key encryption with Len Adleman and Adi Shamir, specifically the RSA algorithm, for which they won the 2002 ACM Turing Award.
Professor Rivest is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, and is a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery, the International Association for Cryptographic Research, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

 6.07: Crucial Tech
Ron Rivest - the "R" in RSA encryption - has done an end run around the export endgame that's been keeping the US State Department and crypto activists at odds for years.
Rivest calls this his chaffing-and-winnowing method, where "the receiver merely discards all of the chaff packets and retains the wheat packets." Moreover, such noise could be created by ISPs, making the process transparent to users.
Rivest's idea offers the best of both worlds: confidentiality and adherence to the law - while making a mockery of the latter in the process.

 The Science of Secrecy
It was developed by Len Adleman, Ron Rivest and Adi Shamir, three professors from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Laboratory for Computer Science in Boston.
The crucial breakthrough was made by Ron Rivest, but appreciating that the research was very much a joint effort, he was planning to call the cipher ARS, the initials of the three inventors in alphabetical order.
Rivest, Shamir and Adleman were astonished by the 3,000 requests they received.

 RC2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cryptography, RC2 is a block cipher designed by Ron Rivest in 1987.
The development of RC2 was sponsored by Lotus, who were seeking a custom cipher that, after evaluation by the NSA, could be exported as part of their Lotus Notes software.
The NSA suggested a couple of changes, which Rivest incorporated.

 Team Asylum Security Commentary - Filipino Cracks RSA??
Ron Rivest, one of the three original developers (the R in RSA), made the following comment of Leo de Velez's work:
Ron Rivest comments states that Velez's formula is not as fast as it is claimed to be, yet statements made by other cryptologists such as Phil Zakas have offered another point of view.
What is interesting is that Velez's accepted Rivest's comments that his formula would be a slower method; apparently, other experts are now contending that there are new concepts in Velez's methods.

Ron Rivest leaped into the computer-science limelight in 1977 when, along with fellow MIT assistant professors Adi Shamir and Leonard Adelman, he invented the RSA public-key cryptosystem.
With Thomas H. Cormen and Charles E. Leiserson, Rivest is coauthor of Introduction to Algorithms, a comprehensive introduction to the modern study of computer algorithms that has been identified by DDJ as a fundamental book for computer programmers (and included on Dr.

 MD5: Command Line Message Digest Utility
Message digest algorithms have much in common with techniques used in encryption, but to a different end; verification that data have not been altered since the signature was published.
The most commonly used present-day message digest algorithm is the 128 bit MD5 algorithm, developed by Ron Rivest of the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and RSA Data Security, Inc.
The algorithm, with a reference implementation, was published as Internet RFC 1321 in April 1992, and was placed into the public domain at that time.
