Jean Dollimore
Jean Dollimore (1934-2015) was a mathematics professor who studied at Bedford College. She later became a computer programmer working for the University College London while also teaching computing classes. Dollimore is best known for her contributions to groupware platform technology and secure communication between technology.

Life and Career
Dollimore was born in 1934 near London, having later moved to Hertfordshire, with a solicitor as a father and a housewife as a mother, and was the oldest of three younger siblings. She attended an all-girls school as she grew up which was where she gained an interest in mathematics and science.

The first job that she got after graduating in 1956 was teaching mathematics in secondary school, but she started to gain an interest and experience with computers through taking classes and research at Birkbeck College. During this time, Dollimore programmed on the Atlas with a special programming language made for that computer, called Atlas Autocode. After having more programming experience, she got a job as a computer programmer for the chemistry department at the University College in London, where she wrote programs for the various people in the department. Following this, she has spent a majority of her life making various contributions to the computer science field and writing numerous research publications.

Jean Dollimore was a part of the PerDiS Project in 1998. which was meant to be a software program that could link groups together on a secure platform. She was one of the people responsible for helping design the software. Dollimore's work on safe data transmission between multiple administrative domains helped further research on distributed object security. She helped create a security protocol which included a single secret cryptographic key within a domain, and helped make a way for data to safely cross multiple domains which follow that protocol.
