Steven Michael Bellovin, an American computer scientist, researcher on computer networking, cryptography and security, and professor in the Computer Science department at Columbia University. He earned a BA degree from Columbia University in 1972, and managed an MSc. and Ph.D. in computer science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and has been fellow at AT&T Labs Research.

=CCCP= From 1970 to 1971, as undergraduate student at Columbia, along with Aron Eisenpress, Andrew Koenig, and Ben Yalow, he co-authored the chess program CCCP, which competed at the ACM 1971, and was initially based on Hans Berliner's program J. Biit, which played one year before.

=Usenet= Later, as graduate student, Steven Bellovin helped create the Usenet, along with Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis awarded with the 1995 Usenix Lifetime Achievement Award, known, appropriately enough, as "The Flame".
