'''Steven M. Bellovin''' is a researcher on [[computer networking]] and [[computer security|security]]. He is currently a Professor in the Computer Science department at [[Columbia University]], having previously been a Fellow at [[AT&T Labs]] Research in [[Florham Park]], [[New Jersey]].

In September 2012, Bellovin was appointed Chief Technologist for the United States [[Federal Trade Commission]], replacing [[Edward Felten|Edward W. Felten]], who returned to [[Princeton University]].

In February 2016, Bellovin became the first technology scholar for the [[Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board]].

== Career ==
He received a BA degree from [[Columbia University]], and an MS and PhD in Computer Science from the [[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill]].

As a graduate student, Bellovin was one of the originators of [[USENET]]. He later suggested that [[Gene Spafford]] should create the [http://securitydigest.org/phage Phage mailing list] as a response to the [[Morris Worm]].

He and Michael Merritt invented the [[Encrypted key exchange]] [[password-authenticated key agreement]] methods. He was also responsible for the discovery that [[one-time pad]]s were invented in 1882, not 1917, as previously believed.

Bellovin has been active in the [[Internet Engineering Task Force|IETF]]. He was a member of the [[Internet Architecture Board]] from 1996–2002. Bellovin later was Security Area co-director, and a member of the [[Internet Engineering Steering Group]] (IESG) from 2002–2004. He identified some key security weaknesses in the [[Domain Name System]]; this and other weaknesses eventually led to the development of [[DNSSEC]].

He received 2007 National Computer Systems Security Award by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Security Agency (NSA). In 2001, he was elected to the [[National Academy of Engineering]] for his contributions to network and security.

Bellovin is an active [[NetBSD]] user and a [[NetBSD]] developer focusing on architectural, operational, and security issues.
