(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Roger Michael Needham was a British computer scientist. Early life and education Needham was born in Birmingham, England, the only child of Phyllis Mary, née Baker and Leonard William Needham , a university chemistry lecturer. He attended Doncaster Grammar School for Boys in Doncaster going on to St John's College, Cambridge in 1953, and graduating with a BA in 1956 in mathematics and philosophy. His PhD thesis was on applications of digital computers to the automatic classification and retrieval of documents. He worked on a variety of key computing projects in security, operating systems, computer architecture and local area networks.
