Wolf said in a statement, \"Boneh's      work on pairing functions and their application to      identity-based encryption has revolutionized cryptography. He      has added greatly to our understanding of important problems      underlying modern cryptography systems. Boneh has produced      new directions and given the field a fresh start.\"    <\/p>\n<p>      Boneh's work has been formalized in such industry standards      as IEEE P1363.3 and several IETF RFCs. The holder of nine      patents, Boneh also co-founded Voltage Security to      commercialize identity-based encryption. HP bought Voltage      earlier this year for an undisclosed amount.    <\/p>\n<p>      You can see and hear Boneh discuss computer security in the      Stanford video below.
