29. Whitfield Diffie (1944 - ) and Martin Hellman (1945 - ) Cryptologists and inventors of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorythm in 1976. The DH algorithm provided a radical new way for two parties to exchange secrets. The DH algorithm and its derivatives are the cornerstones of many public key encryption protocols in use today.
