How To Vote
2017 members of the IACR (generally people who attended an IACR conference or workshop in 2016) should have received a customized invitation to vote from system@heliosvoting.org , with a subject line "Vote: IACR 2017 Election" , sent to their email address of record with the IACR. (Members may update their email addresses and other information by visiting this page .) If you did not receive such an email by Oct 16, 2017 then contact
That email message contains the Election URL: https://vote.heliosvoting.org/helios/e/IACR2017 , the Election Fingerprint: 4gLCwKEdspp4C0xtRrtNdVRC7H35t8wIrHKO2nxABMg , and in addition a username and password for voting in the elections. (Please notice that the system will only ask for your username and password at the end of the voting process, after you entered all your choices .)
The IACR uses an approval voting system, which means you can vote for as many candidates as you wish.

I have had the privilege of serving on the IACR Board for 17 years - as an officer, a conference chair, and a director. We have grown and addressed many challenges in those years, and we have many new challenges today. I seek the opportunity to continue working for the community.

I like to continue supporting IACR's growth and increased excellence, to assure the special needs of individuals and all sub-communities (e.g., CHES, TCC). We need diversity of opinions, geographies, genders, and scientific areas, to assure continued success. Serving last term was a pleasure mixed with modest progress!
