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.

David is a cryptographer and a professor at the École normale supérieure. He was previously a professor at Panthéon-Assas University. David is well known for his work in public-key cryptography, especially around the cryptanalysis of digital signature schemes. He co-designed the Naccache-Stern cryptosystem and the Naccache-Stern knapsack cryptosystem. David is also a visiting professor and researcher at the Information Security Group of Royal Holloway, University of London, and in 2020, was elected as a Fellow of the IACR.

Paul is a cryptographer and computer security researcher, and is currently a professor of computer science at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. He previously held a Canada Research Chair in authentication and computer security and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (FRSC). Along with Alfred Menezes and Scott Vanstone, Paul was a co-author of the Handbook of Applied Cryptography, and the author of Computer Security and the Internet. In 2000, he was awarded The J.W. Graham Medal in Computing Innovation, and a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery in 2016 for his "contributions to applied cryptography, authentication and computer security.
