   World-leaders in Cryptography: Yael Tauman Kalai

   Yael is the Ellen Shallow Richards Professor at MIT. She was previously a Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research. At the Weizmann Institute of Science, Yael worked with Adi Shamir and completed her PhD advised by Shafi Goldwasser at MIT in 2006. She was elected as a Fellow of the IACR in 2022 for foundational contributions in delegated computation and leakage-resilient cryptography, and service to the cryptographic community. She received the ACM Prize in Computing in 2022 for breakthroughs in verifiable delegation of computation and fundamental contributions to cryptography. Yael was a co-inventor of ring signatures, and has also shown the insecurity within the Fiat-Shamir heuristic. Along with Ron Rivest, and Adi Shamir, she published the classic paper of "How to leak a secret".

   World leaders in Cryptography: Claude Crépeau

   Claude is a professor in the School of Computer Science at McGill University and obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT in 1990, working in the field of cryptography with Silvio Micali as his Ph.D. advisor and with Gilles Brassard as his MSc advisor. Claude  was a member of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research program on Quantum Information Processing from 2002 to 2012 and is best known for his fundamental work in zero-knowledge proof, multi-party computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum teleportation.  In 1993, along with Charles H. Bennett, Gilles Brassard, and others, Claude invented quantum teleportation. His 1988 STOC paper with David Chaum and Ivan Damgård on secure multi-party computation received the ACM STOC 30-year Test of Time Award in 2021. In 2013, he was elected as a Fellow of the IACR.

   World-leaders in Cryptography: Yevgeniy Dodis

   Yevgeniy is a Fellow of the IACR (International Association for Cryptologic Research), and a Professor of Computer Science at New York University. He has worked in a variety of areas, including secure messaging and end-to-end security, random number generation, LLM watermarking, cryptography with biometrics and other noisy data, hash function and block cipher design, protocol composition and information-theoretic cryptography. Some of his work on Random Number Generation, Hash Functions and Secure Messaging has had real-world impact (e.g., for Zoom, Microsoft, Apple and Signal, among others). In addition to being an IACR Fellow, Yevgeniy was the recipient of 2021 and 2019 IACR Test-of-Time Awards for his work on Fuzzy Extractors and Verifiable Random Functions. He has also won the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, Faculty Awards from AWS, Facebook, Google, IBM, Algorand, Protocol Labs, JP Morgan, Stellar Foundation and VMware, and the Best Paper Award at the 2005 Public Key Cryptography Conference.
