Four papers authored by EECS faculty win Test-of-Time Awards at 2020 IEEE-SP

Four papers co-authored by EECS faculty (3 of which were co-authored by Prof. Dawn Song) have won Test-of-Time awards at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy today: “Efficient Authentication and Signing of Multicast Streams Over Lossy Channels,” co-authored by Song (Ph.D. ’02) and the late Prof. Doug Tygar (with Perrig and Canetti) in 2000, “Practical Techniques for Searches on Encrypted Data,” co-authored by Song and Prof. David Wagner (with Perrig) in 2000, “Random Key Predistribution Schemes for Sensor Networks,” co-authored by Song (with Chan and Perrig) in 2003, and “Outside the Closed World: On Using Machine Learning For Network Intrusion Detection” co-authored by Prof. Vern Paxson (with Sommer) in 2010.    IEEE-SP is considered the premier computer security conference and this four-fold achievement demonstrates Berkeley’s preeminence in the field.
