Benny Chor
Ben-Zion "Benny" Chor (23 December 1956 – 10 June 2021) was an Israeli computer scientist. He was known for his research in cryptography, including traitor tracing, randomness extractors, private information retrieval, the security level and single-bit security of RSA (cryptosystem), RSA encryption, and secret sharing. Beyond cryptography, he also made important contributions in distributed shared-memory Consensus (computer science), consensus and in the discovery of patterns in gene expression data. Early life and education Chor was born on 23 December 1956, and raised in Tel Aviv. He was an undergraduate mathematics student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, graduating in 1980 and earning a master's degree there in 1981. He became a doctoral student in computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), working there on cryptography with Ron Rivest; he completed his Ph.D. in 1985 with the dissertation ''Two Issues in Public Key Cryptography: RSA Bit Secu ...

Computer Science
Computer science is the study of computation, automation, and information. Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, information theory, and automation) to Applied science, practical disciplines (including the design and implementation of Computer architecture, hardware and Computer programming, software). Computer science is generally considered an area of research, academic research and distinct from computer programming. Algorithms and data structures are central to computer science. The theory of computation concerns abstract models of computation and general classes of computational problem, problems that can be solved using them. The fields of cryptography and computer security involve studying the means for secure communication and for preventing Vulnerability (computing), security vulnerabilities. Computer graphics (computer science), Computer graphics and computational geometry address the generation of images. Progr ...
