'''Paul Carl Kocher''' (born June 11, 1973) is an American [[cryptographer]] and [[cryptography]] consultant, currently the president and chief scientist of [[Cryptography Research]], Inc.

Among his most significant achievements are the development of [[timing attack]]s that can break implementations of [[RSA (algorithm)|RSA]], [[Digital Signature Algorithm|DSA]] and fixed-exponent [[Diffie–Hellman key exchange|Diffie–Hellman]] that operate in non-constant time, as well as the co-development of [[power analysis]] and differential power analysis. He also contributed to the design of [[Deep Crack]], a [[Data Encryption Standard|DES]] brute-force key search machine. He was one of the architects of the [[Secure Sockets Layer]] (SSL) 3.0 protocol, a cryptographic protocol for secure communications on the Internet.

Kocher grew up in [[Oregon]]. He received a bachelor's degree in [[biology]] from [[Stanford University]] in 1991, where he worked part-time with [[Martin Hellman]].

Kocher was elected to the [[National Academy of Engineering|U.S. National Academy of Engineering]] in 2009 for his contributions to cryptography and Internet security.
