Dmitry Sklyarov (Дмитрий Скляров) (born December 18, 1974) is a Russian computer programmer known for his 2001 run-in with American law enforcement over software copyright restrictions.
Sklyarov was a PhD student researching cryptanalysis and an employee of the Russian software company ElcomSoft, where he created The Advanced eBook Processor software, also known as AEBPR.
On July 16, 2001, after giving a presentation called "eBook's Security — Theory and Practice" at the DEF CON convention in Las Vegas, he was arrested by the FBI as he was about to return to Moscow and charged with distributing a product designed to circumvent copyright protection measures, under the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
