Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 (electronic mail:
pau@watson.ibm.com). Dr. Cheng is a research staff member. He
received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of
Maryland in 1990. He joined the Computing Systems Department of the
Watson Research Center in 1990 to work on the development of security
functions of AIX. In 1994 he joined the Network Security group to work
on IP Security technology. He is the principal developer of the IPSEC
technology on the AIX operating system. His areas of interest are in
the system aspects of computer and network security. He has been
involved in the design, analysis, and implementation of solutions for
data encryption and authentication, key management, user
authentication, and Internet security.
Juan A. Garay IBM Research Division,
Thomas J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 704,
Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 (electronic mail:
garay@watson.ibm.com). Dr. Garay received his Ph.D. in computer
science from the Pennsylvania State University in 1989. He also holds a
degree in electrical engineering from the Universidad Nacional de
Rosario in Argentina, and a master's degree in electronic engineering
from the Eindhoven International Institute of the Eindhoven University
of Technology in the Netherlands. He has been with IBM Research since
1990. In 1992 he was a postdoctoral Fellow at The Weizmann Institute of
Science in Israel, and in 1996 a visiting scientist at the Centrum
voor Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI) of the Stichting Mathematish Centrum
in the Netherlands. Dr. Garay has published extensively in the areas of
algorithms, distributed computing, fault tolerance, and cryptographic
protocols.
Amir Herzberg IBM Research Division,
Haifa Research Laboratory at Tel Aviv, IBM
Building, 2 Weizmann Street, Tel Aviv 61336, Israel (electronic mail:
amir@haifa.vnet.ibm.com). Dr. Herzberg received the B.Sc. in
computer engineering, the M.Sc. in electrical engineering, and the
D.Sc. in computer science from the Technion-Israel Institute of
Technology, in 1982, 1986, and 1991, respectively. In 1991, he joined
the IBM Research Division where he now manages the Network Computing
and Security group. He established this group, as a Tel-Aviv annex of
the Haifa Research Laboratory, in January 1996. His previous assignment
was manager of the Network Security group in the IBM Thomas J.
Watson Research Center. His research areas include network
security, applied cryptography, electronic commerce, communication
protocols, and fault tolerant distributed algorithms. Dr. Herzberg is
the author of numerous publications and patents in these areas.
Hugo Krawczyk Department of Electrical
Engineering, Technion, Haifa 32000, Israel
(electronic mail: hugo@ee.technion.ac.il). Dr. Krawczyk is a
senior lecturer in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the
Technion and a visiting scientist at the IBM Watson Research Center. He
received his Ph.D. in computer science from the Technion in 1990. In
1990 and 1991 he spent a year in the Computer Science Department of
Princeton University under a Weizmann postdoctoral fellowship. From
1991 to 1997 he was a research staff member in the Cryptography and
Network Security group at the IBM Watson Research Center. His areas of
interest span applied and theoretical aspects of cryptography with
particular emphasis on applications to network security. He has been
involved in the design and implementation of solutions for data
encryption and authentication, key management, public key cryptography,
Internet security, electronic commerce, payment systems, and security
of mobile and wireless systems.
