Mancini, and<br \/>\nGene Tsudik established the basis for provable data possession based on highly-efficient symmetric key cryptography.<br \/>\nThe paper was seminal in allowing the outsourcing of dynamic data, i.e., by efficiently handling operations such as<br \/>\nblock modification, deletion, and append. This is the first solution to provide these properties and is still unsurpassed.<br \/>\nThe paper had a considerable impact on the field. In addition to the academic impact (1300+ citations), the proposed<br \/>\nPDP method is at the core of the many solutions that remotely check data consistency (e.g., distributed databases, online<br \/>\nsocial networks, remote data backup), and is finding its way in blockchain technologies. More broadly, the paper is<br \/>\ninstrumental in forming a bridge between the research communities on security and on dependable systems and<br \/>\nnetworks. As Jean-Claude Laprie used to remind us, security is indeed one of the five fundamental attributes of<br \/>\ndependability. For these reasons, the selection committee has unanimously selected this ground-breaking publication<br \/>\nwhich is well-deserving of this award.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>About the Jean-Claude Laprie Award in Dependable Computing<\/h2>\n<p>The award was created in 2011, in honor of Jean-Claude Laprie (1944-2010), whose pioneering contributions to the concepts and methodologies of dependability were influential in defining and unifying the field of dependable and secure computing. The award recognizes outstanding papers that have significantly influenced the theory and\/or practice of Dependable Computing.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Jean-Claude Laprie Award please visit<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jclaprie-award.dependability.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/jclaprie-award.dependability.org<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>About IFIP WG 10.4 on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance<\/h2>\n<p>IFIP Working Group 10.4 was established in 1980 with the aim of identifying and integrating approaches, methods and techniques for specifying, designing, building, assessing, validating, operating and maintaining dependable computer systems, that is those that are reliable, available, safe, and secure. Its 75 members from around the world meet twice a year to to conduct in-depth discussions of important technical topics to further the understanding and exposition of the fundamental concepts of dependable computing.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on IFIP WG10.4 visit <a href=\"http:\/\/wg10.4.dependability.org\">http:\/\/wg10.4.dependability.org<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>About the International Federation For Information Processing<\/h2>\n<p>IFIP is a non-governmental, non-profit umbrella organization for national societies working in the field of information processing.
