The award for Research Impact recognizes those whose research has led to a conclusion, discovery, concept, tool, approach, or proposal that can be shown to have advanced or made a substantial contribution to domestic or international cyber policy. Research must have been published in a peer-reviewed journal or otherwise subjected to a credible organizational-level pre-publication review process, and not individually self-published.
NIST's Cryptographic Technology Group has been selected to receive the Research Impact Award for their research leading to new post-quantum cryptographic standards.
