We are proud to announce the winners of the 2020 IACR Test-of-Time Award. This award honors papers published at the 3 IACR flagship conferences 15 years ago which have had a lasting impact on the field.

The Test-of-Time award for Eurocrypt 2005 is awarded to "Fuzzy Identity-Based Encryption " (Amit Sahai and Brent Waters), for laying the foundations of attribute-based encryption and other advanced notions of encryption.

The Test-of-Time award for Crypto 2005 is awarded to "Finding collisions in the full SHA-1 " (Xiaoyun Wang, Yiqun Lisa Yin and Hongbo Yu), for a breakthrough in the cryptanalysis of hash functions.

The Test-of-Time award for Asiacrypt 2005 is awarded to "Discrete-Log-Based Signatures May Not Be Equivalent to Discrete Log" (Pascal Paillier and Damien Vergnaud), developing a new meta-reduction approach in the security proof of cryptosystems.
