Congratulations to Alfred Menezes, professor of Combinatorics & Optimization, who has been named a Fellow of the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). The Fellows program, which was established in 2004, is awarded to no more than 0.25% of the IACR’s 3000 members each year and recognizes “outstanding IACR members for technical and professional contributions to cryptologic research.”
Menezes is a venerable member of the cryptological community: he has worked extensively on elliptic curve cryptography, provable security, and post-quantum cryptography, and is a co-author of the widely-used books Handbook of Applied Cryptography (1996) and Guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography (2004).
