RSAC™ Conference Award for Excellence in the Field of Mathematics
summary
Award ceremony describes why this year’s math prize honors work that changes what cryptographers can build: credited advances include multilinear maps and obfuscation, practical progress on fully homomorphic encryption, results on chosen‑ciphertext security and underlying algebraic algorithms, and the creation of widely used cryptographic software. The segment includes two concrete anecdotes—a conference paper printed with only odd pages that still gets accepted, and a career detour via folk dancing that leads to academia—plus a claim of moving computing on encrypted data toward practice.
