Professor Ian Goldberg and former Cheriton School of Computer Science doctoral students Aniket Kate and Gregory Zaverucha have received the 2025 Asiacrypt Test-of-Time Award. Their paper, Constant-Size Commitments to Polynomials and Their Applications, was presented originally at Asiacrypt 2010, the 16th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptology and Information Security.
The Test-of-Time Award honours a paper presented 15 years earlier that has had a significant and lasting impact on the theory and practice of cryptography and information security.
“Congratulations to Ian and his colleagues, Aniket and Greg,” said Raouf Boutaba, University Professor and Director of the Cheriton School of Computer Science. “Their significant and enduring work on polynomial commitment schemes significantly reduces communication costs in cryptographic systems, allowing for more scalable and efficient secure protocols.”
