Yvo G. Desmedt
Dr. Yvo G. Desmedt( born 1956) is the Jonsson Distinguished Professor at the University of Texas at Dallas, and in addition Chair of Information Communication Technology at University College London.
He was a pioneer of threshold cryptography and is an International Association for Cryptologic Research Fellow.
He also made crucial observations that were used in the cryptanalysis of the Merkle – Hellman knapsack cryptosystem and observed properties of the Data Encryption Standard which were used by Eli Biham and Adi Shamir when they invented Differential Cryptanalysis.
Micrurapteryx parvula
Micrurapteryx parvula is a moth of the family Gracillariidae.
It is known from Israel and Jordan.
Amer Ali
Amer Ali Ahmed Khalaf is a Jordanian footballer who plays as a defender for Al- Ramtha and Jordan U- 22.
HAIFA construction
The HAIFA construction(" hash iterative framework") is a cryptographic structure used in the design of hash functions.
It is one of the modern alternatives to the Merkle – Damgård construction, avoiding its weaknesses like length extension attacks.
The construction was designed by Eli Biham and Orr Dunkelman in 2007.
Three of the 14 second round candidates in the NIST hash function competition were based on HAIFA constructions( BLAKE, SHAvite- 3, ECHO).
Other hash functions based on it are LAKE, Sarmal, SWIFFTX and HNF- 256.
The construction of Skein( Unique Block Iteration) is similar to HAIFA.
Another alternative construction is the sponge construction.

Eli Biham
Eli Biham is an Israeli cryptographer and cryptanalyst, currently a professor at the Technion Israeli Institute of Technology Computer Science department.
Starting from October 2008 and till 2013, Biham was the dean of the Technion Computer Science department, after serving for two years as chief of CS graduate school.
Biham received his Ph.D. for inventing( publicly) differential cryptanalysis, while working under Adi Shamir.
It had, it turned out, been invented at least twice before.
A team at IBM discovered it during their work on DES, and was requested/ required to keep their discovery secret by the NSA, who evidently knew about it as well.
Jordan Mageo
Jordan Mageo( born January 6, 1997) is an American Samoan sprinter.
She competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in the women's 100 metres race; her time of 13.72 seconds in the preliminary round did not qualify her for the first round.
MMB (cipher)
In cryptography, MMB (Modular Multiplication-based Block cipher) is a block cipher designed by Joan Daemen as an improved replacement for the IDEA cipher.
Modular multiplication is the central element in the design.
Weaknesses in the key schedule were identified by Eli Biham, and this, together with the cipher's not having been designed to resist linear cryptanalysis, meant that other designs were pursued instead, such as 3-Way.
MMB has a key size and block size of 128 bits.
Tamer Soubar
Tamer Husni Omar Soubar(( born in 1994) is a Jordanian footballer who plays for Al- Ahli and Jordan U- 23.
Alex Biryukov
Alex Biryukov is a cryptographer, currently a full professor at the University of Luxembourg.
His notable work includes the design of the stream cipher LEX, as well as the cryptanalysis of numerous cryptographic primitives.
In 1998, he developed impossible differential cryptanalysis together with Eli Biham and Adi Shamir.
In 1999, he developed the slide attack together with David Wagner.
In 2009 he developed, together with Dmitry Khovratovich, the first cryptanalytic attack on full- round AES- 192 and AES- 256 that is faster than a brute- force attack.
In 2015 he developed the Argon2 key derivation function with Daniel Dinu and Dmitry Khovratovich.
Since 1994 Alex Biryukov is a member of the International Association for Cryptologic Research.

Question: Are Eli Biham and Jordan Mageo of the same nationality?
