Daniel Bernstein

Daniel Bernstein is an American technologist and computer scientist who developed the Snuffle stream cipher freely available online, but the US government claimed it required a license in order to export.

Khala Whitney, designer behind Grayscale, filed suit alleging that Bernstein’s Macy’s collection included an exact duplicate of her patent leather skirt design as well as a claim that Bernstein stole one of her chained coronavirus masks.

Early Life and Education

Alana is an internationally-recognized educator on early education rooted in science of child development. She holds the Simms-Mann First 36 Project Fellow award and belongs to National Association for the Education of Young Children; currently living in Santa Monica with her husband and three kids.

Bernstein was an eloquent communicator. He could convey information in an accessible, non-jargon manner about any number of musical topics, and when he became music director of the New York Philharmonic in 1958, he insisted upon a clause guaranteeing four televised Young People’s Concerts each season.

Bernstein was an enthusiastic champion of liberal causes, from wartime Russian relief through postwar refugee assistance and fight for civil rights to fundraising activities he organized to advocate for public education.

Professional Career

Berenstein is an active author and contributor of open source software, known for writing many security-aware programs like qmail, ezmlm, djbdns, ucspi-tcp and daemontools as well as stream ciphers such as Salsa20 and RFSB. Most notably in 2008 he released DNSCurve which uses techniques from elliptic curve cryptography to secure Domain Name Systems more effectively than existing public key algorithms like RSA.

He is best-known among the general public for his chilling appearances as Kanak, an antagonistical cannibal doctor created by Gaston Leroux for “Cheri Bibi” (1974), and Krank, an immoral dream-thief from “The City of Lost Children” (1995). Additionally, he has published many papers related to mathematics and computation.

Achievement and Honors

Bernstein earned fifth place in both the Westinghouse Science Talent Search and William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competitions. He holds both a Bachelor of Arts from New York University and PhD from University of California Berkeley under Hendrik Lenstra’s tutelage. Additionally, he has developed several security-aware programs such as Qmail, Ezmlm, DJBDNSS, UCSPI-TCP and DaemonTools. He has published many papers in mathematics and computation. Additionally, he invented both the Salsa20 stream cipher and RFSB fast syndrome-based hash function. Bernstein currently serves as Director of Medical Student Education and Quality and Patient Safety Chair for Ophthalmology at Columbia University’s Weill-Cornell Medical College, as well as director of its Ophthalmology Residency Program at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.

Personal Life

Before the First Invasion, Daniel was an average teenager; often at odds with his parents and lacking many close companions. Once the Visitors invaded Earth, however, Daniel became part of their Youth Recruitment program, turning him into a coldblooded creature capable of deeds that far surpass anything his teenage years could allow for.

Bernstein created DNSCurve, a stream cipher based on elliptic curve cryptography. Additionally, he designed other security-aware programs like qmail, ezmlm, djbdns and ucspi-tcp.

Bernstein continues to make money despite recent controversy; she uses her 2.6 million Instagram followers as leverage, using them to design, photograph and launch new collections for weWoreWhat; she is also using them to raise funds for charitable organizations via WeGiveWhat and has even hired staff specifically dedicated to public relations work.

Net Worth

Wikipedia, IMDb & various online sources estimate Daniel J Bernstein to have amassed an estimated net worth between $1-5 Million due to his successful career as an Entrepreneur.

Dan Bernstein resides in Westport, a northwest Chicago suburb, with his wife and two children. Connor McKnight co-hosts his midday program on 670 The Score entitled Bernstein & McKnight show during lunch hour.

His personal life remains private as he prefers not to share details about it publicly. Since 1998, he and his beautiful wife have been married, with their relationship remaining strong over nearly 20 years. Additionally, he enjoys sports immensely – playing both basketball and golf during his spare time, supporting both Chicago Cubs and Indiana Pacers!
