The IACR and PKC Steering Committee are pleased to announce the 2022 Test-of-Time award for papers published PKC.
PKC is the International Conference on Practice and Theory in Public Key Cryptography, which was founded in 1998 and became an official IACR event in 2003. The Test-of-Time award recognizes outstanding papers, published in PKC about 15 years ago, making a significant contribution to the theory and practice of public key cryptography, preferably with influence either on foundations or on the practice of the field.
The 2022 award was given on Tuesday March 8th at PKC in a virtual Award Ceremony, for papers published in the conference's initial years of early 2000s and late 1990s. In the first few years a number of papers from a few different initial years of PKC can be recognized. Thereafter, the award will typically recognize one year at a time with one or two papers.
The recipients of the 2022 award are:
- Password-Based Authenticated Key Exchange in the Three-Party Setting, by Michel Abdalla, Pierre-Alain Fouque, and David Pointcheval, PKC 2005.
- Curve25519: New Diffie-Hellman Speed Records, by Daniel J. Bernstein, PKC 2006.
Congratulations to these authors for their impactful work! More information about the award can be found at https://iacr.org/meetings/pkc/test_of_time_award/
