Niels Ferguson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Niels Ferguson is a Dutch cryptographic engineer and consultant who currently works for Microsoft. He has worked with others, including Bruce Schneier, designing cryptographic algorithms, testing algorithms and protocols, and writing papers and books. In 2001, he claimed to have broken the HDCP system that will be incorporated into HD DVD and Blu-ray Discs and players, similar to the DVD's Macrovision, but has not published his research, citing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, which would make such publication illegal.
