Ben Lynn

Ben Lynn is a computer scientist who earned his PhD in computer science at Stanford University, where Dan Boneh was his advisor, after an undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney. He is the author of the Pairing-Based Cryptography library, a free pairing-based cryptography library written in C, and he is the L in the Boneh-Lynn-Shacham signature scheme, a short digital signature built on bilinear pairings. His personal pages at Stanford also host a guide to using the Git version control system, a Haskell compiler that runs in the browser, notes on lambda calculus and assembly language, and a collection of small browser games. He describes himself as remaining a student of computer science who still calls the Stanford page home.
