Award Award
We are proud to announce the winners of the 2023 IACR Test-of-Time Award for Eurocrypt. The IACR Test-of-Time Award honors papers published at the 3 IACR flagship conferences 15 years ago which have had a lasting impact on the field. This year, we will be announcing the winners for each conference separately.

The Test-of-Time award for Eurocrypt 2008 is awarded to the following two papers:

Efficient Non-interactive Proof Systems for Bilinear Groups, by Jens Groth and Amit Sahai, for providing efficient Groth-Sahai proofs that have given rise to many applications including succinct non-interactive arguments.

On the Indifferentiability of the Sponge Construction, by Guido Bertoni, Joan Daemen, Michael Peeters and Gilles Van Assche, for introducing the Sponge construction that is deployed in world-wide standards such as SHA-3 and ASCON.
