Ueli Maurer
Ueli Maurer is included for documented contributions to the technical and formal foundations of computer security and cryptography.
Ueli Maurer is a computer scientist at ETH Zürich who leads research in information security and cryptography. His work spans cryptographic foundations, protocol analysis, and information-theoretic questions.
Security relevance
Maurer’s research emphasizes precise models and composable reasoning about what cryptographic systems achieve. Such formal treatment is essential when security guarantees must remain meaningful as protocols are combined into larger systems.
