Co-published with Stephen Pohlig; the algorithm bears both names. Verified en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pohlig-Hellman_algorithm: "The algorithm was introduced by Roland Silver, but first published by Stephen Pohlig and Martin Hellman, who credit Silver with its earlier independent but unpublished discovery." Not overclaimed as sole or first discovery given Silver's earlier unpublished work.
Invented By
Martin Hellman co-authored the 1976 paper New Directions in Cryptography with Whitfield Diffie that introduced the key exchange protocol bearing their names.
Martin Hellman and Whitfield Diffie's 1976 New Directions in Cryptography paper first proposed the concept of a digital signature.
