cryptography

The award is given out yearly to leading thinkers, innovators, and creators across art, science, and scholarship to tackle current issues.

The prize recognizes early-to-mid-career computer scientists who have made key research contributions to the field, such as Kalai’s influence on modern cryptographic practices.

Researchers found that an understudied component of computer processors is susceptible to attacks from malicious agents. Then, they developed mitigation mechanisms.
