Jonathan Katz
Cryptographic protocol design and security education shape how secure systems are built and assessed. Katz's work bridges theoretical cryptography with computer and network security research.
Jonathan Katz is a University of Maryland computer scientist whose research focuses on cryptography, computer and network security, and theoretical computer science.
Research and education
Maryland describes his work as advancing cryptography and network-security capabilities. His teaching and writing have also been influential in formal cryptography education.
Professional recognition
He received the ACM SIGSAC Outstanding Contribution Award in 2019, which cited his commitment to cryptography education and research. Maryland lists him as an ACM and IACR Fellow.
Place in security history
The field depends on both mathematical protocols and their disciplined use in systems. Katz's research and educational work address both sides of that relationship.
