Yuliang Zheng is a cryptographer and computer scientist who is a professor and chair of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He is best known for inventing signcryption, a cryptographic primitive that performs the digital signature and the encryption of a message in one single step instead of two. He also invented the HAVAL hash function, the SPEED cipher and the STRANDOM pseudo-random number generator. In 2002 he co-founded Calyptix Security, a company where he serves as chief technology officer.
