The RSA Conference Award for Excellence in Mathematics is given annually at the RSA Conference and it recognizes innovation and ongoing contribution to the field of cryptography. The judging committee of experts which is associated with The Cryptographer's Track at RSA Conference (CT-RSA) seeks to acknowledge those nominees who are pioneers in their field, and whose work has applied or theoretical lasting value. Nominees are typically affiliated with universities or industrial research labs. The award is one of the top recognitions for a researcher in the field of Cryptography defined broadly, and leading cryptography researchers have won the award over the years, based on their innovative works. Note, in addition, that some pioneers in the field have won other awards in the conference, most notably a lifetime achievement award which was given over the years to the RSA namesakes: Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, and to the inventors of the notion of Public-key cryptography: Martin Hellman and Whitfield Diffie, as well as to an early contributor in the field: Taher Elgamal.
