[Professor Insu Yun]
On July 16th to July 28th, 2023, at the 1st International Congress of Basic Science (ICBS, homepage: https://www.icbs.cn/) held in Beijing, Professor Insu Yun received the Frontiers of Science Award in the field of cryptography and information security.
The event, which is the first international congress of basic science planned and hosted in China, will focus on three fundamental science fields: mathematics, theoretical physics, and theoretical computer and information science.
It is set to feature hundreds of lectures, conferences, and active exchange events. About 1,000 participants are expected to attend, including numerous scholars from the United States, and European countries, along with 8 Fields Medal laureates, 4 Turing Award laureates, and 1 Nobel Prize laureate, all gathering to promote cooperation and knowledge exchange.
As part of this inaugural event, the ICBS Frontiers of Science Award is presented to researchers who have demonstrated outstanding scientific value and creativity in their respective fields over the past five years.
Professor Insu Yun was honored with this award for his research presented at USENIX Security in 2018, titled “QSYM: A Practical Concolic Execution Engine Tailored for Hybrid Fuzzing,” earning him a prize of $25,000.
This research made significant contributions to the practical realization of hybrid fuzzing, a next-generation vulnerability detection technology, and received the Best Paper Award at the same conference.
The ICBS Frontiers of Science Award recognizes Professor Yun’s contributions to the advancement and progress of information security and showcases his recognition as one of the outstanding young researchers in this field.
