Eric Hughes is an American mathematician, computer programmer, and cypherpunk. He is considered one of the founders of the cypherpunk movement, alongside Timothy C. May and John Gilmore.[1][2] He is notable for founding and administering the Cypherpunk mailing list,[3] authoring A Cypherpunk's Manifesto,[4][5] creating and hosting the first anonymous remailer,[1][6][7][8] and coining the motto, "Cypherpunks write code".[6]

The May/June 1993 issue (vol. 1 no. 2) of Wired featured a cover photo, credited to Larry Dyer, of three masked cypherpunks, of which Hughes was one.[1][9]

On September 27, 2012, Hughes delivered the keynote address, Putting the Personal Back in Personal Computers, at the Amsterdam CryptoParty.[10][11][12][13][14][15]
