Orr Dunkelman (Hebrew: אור דונקלמן) is an Israeli cryptographer and cryptanalyst, currently a professor at the University of Haifa Computer Science department.[1] Dunkelman is a co-director of the Center for Cyber Law & Privacy at the University of Haifa and a co-founder of Privacy Israel, an Israeli NGO for promoting privacy in Israel.[1][2]

Biography

Dunkelman received all his degrees at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. He received his Ph.D. degree at the age of 25, under the supervision of Eli Biham.[3] Before joining the University of Haifa, Dunkelman held post-doctoral positions at KU Leuven, at École normale supérieure, and at the Weizmann Institute of Science.[1]

Contributions to cryptanalysis

Among his contributions to cryptanalysis are:

  • Dissection attack – joint work with Itai Dinur, Nathan Keller, and Adi Shamir, recipient of the Best Paper Award at the Crypto 2012 conference.[4]
  • Rectangle attack – joint work with Eli Biham and Nathan Keller.[5]
  • New variants of differential-linear, boomerang, and slide attacks – joint works with Eli Biham, Adi Shamir, and other co-authors.[6]
  • Breaking (together with Eli Biham, Sebastiaan Indesteege, Nathan Keller, and Bart Preneel) KeeLoq – a block cipher used in remote keyless entry systems by multiple companies.[7][8]
  • Devising (jointly with Eli Biham) a practical attack on A5/1 – the cipher used in GSM security mechanisms.[9]
  • Attacking reduced-round variants of many block ciphers, including AES, Serpent, IDEA, GOST, DES, KASUMI, MISTY1, Camellia, Skipjack and others (in joint works with various coauthors).[6]

New cryptographic primitives

Dunkelman has taken part in the design of several new cryptographic primitives:

Awards and honors

Dunkelman received the Krill Prize from the Wolf Foundation in 2014, and papers he co-authored won the Best Paper Award at the Crypto conference (2012) and at the Fast Software Encryption (FSE) conference (2012).[12][4]
