Dr. Kaliski is the director of RSA Laboratories and chief scientist of RSA Security. He is one of the world’s foremost experts on classical cryptography. He joined RSA Data Security when it was a startup in 1989 and in 1991 helped launch RSA Laboratories as an academic environment within RSA Data Security.

Kaliski has also been involved extensively in the development of cryptographic standards. During the early days of RSA Laboratories, he coordinated the development of the Public-Key Cryptography Standards, working with major early adopters of public-key cryptography. From 1993-99, he served as chair of the IEEE working group that developed the IEEE 1363-2000 standard, which covered the three main families of public-key cryptography. Since 1999, he has been the editor of the IEEE P1363a amendment and is currently the editor of ANSI X9.44, the emerging banking standard

for key establishment based on the RSA cryptosystem. He has also authored several Internet RFCs.

Kaliski’s research has included public-key cryptography, efficient implementation of cryptographic algorithms, block cipher cryptanalysis, elliptic curve cryptography, user authentication, and privacy protection. He is an inventor on eight patents with several others pending. He received his bachelor’s, master’s and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from MIT, where his research focused on cryptography. Prior to joining RSA Data Security, he was a visiting Assistant Professor of computer engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology. He is a member of the IEEE Computer Society and the International Association for Cryptologic Research.
