Award Award
The 2019 TCC Test-of-Time Award goes to Paul Valiant, for his TCC 2008 paper "Incrementally Verifiable Computation or Proofs of Knowledge Imply Time/Space Efficiency". 

The award committee recognizes this paper “for demonstrating the power of recursive composition of proofs of knowledge and enabling the development of efficiently verifiable proofs of correctness for complex computations" 

The TCC Test of Time Award recognizes outstanding papers, published in TCC at least eight years ago, making a significant contribution to the theory of cryptography, preferably with influence also in other area of cryptography, theory, and beyond. The inaugural TCC Test of Time Award was given in TCC 2015 for papers published no later than TCC 2007.
