TCC Test-of-Time Award goes to Silvio Micali and Leonid Reyzin
Professor Silvio Micali (MIT) and Professor Leonid Reyzin (Boston University) were presented with the TCC Test-of-Time Award for their paper on cryptography. Their paper, Physically Observable Cryptography (2004), specifically received this award for pioneering a mathematical foundation of cryptography in the presence of information leakage in physical systems.
The TCC Award is given to a selected few by the Award Committee, which consists of three to five people that rotate every three years. As of 2015 the members include Ronald Cramer (CWI & Leiden University), Daniele Micciancio (USCD), and Tal Rabin- Chair (IBM Research).
