Stuart Haber

Stuart Haber is an experienced cryptographer, best known as the co-inventor of the blockchain technique for ensuring the integrity of digital data. His work has bridged pure research and practical computer security over the course of a three-decade career spent both at large established companies such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HP Labs, and Bellcore (Bell Communications Research) as well as at startups such as InterTrust and Surety, which in 1995 deployed the world's first commercial blockchain as the foundation of the time-stamping service that he founded with his co-inventor, Scott Stornetta.

Dr. Haber served on the Board of Directors of the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) from 2004 through 2011. He received his BA from Harvard University and his MS from Stanford University, both in mathematics, and his PhD in computer science from Columbia University.
