OccupationSoftware engineer

Ben Laurie is an English software engineer. Laurie wrote Apache-SSL,[1] the basis of most SSL-enabled versions of the Apache HTTP Server. He developed the MUD Gods, which was innovative in including online creation in its endgame.[2]

Laurie also has written several articles, papers[3][4][5][6] and books,[7][8] and is interested in ideal knots and their applications.[9][10]

Laurie was a member of WikiLeaks' Advisory Board.[11] According to Laurie, he had little involvement with WikiLeaks, and didn't know who ran the site other than Julian Assange.[12] In 2009, he also said he wouldn't trust WikiLeaks to protect him if he were a whistleblower because "the things that Wikileaks relies on are not sufficiently strong to defend against" a government's resources.[13]

In 2024, Ben Laurie together with Al Cutter, Emilia Käsper and Adam Langley received the Levchin Prize “for creating and deploying Certificate Transparency at scale””.[14]
