收到IET的邮件，我们于2017年发表在IET Information Security的论文“A secure data backup scheme using multi-factor authentication”，获得今年的2019 Premium Award for Best Paper in IET Information Security。

评奖过程如下：

Process

Papers must have been published within the two preceding years e.g. for the 2019 Award, papers were considered that had been published between 1st January 2017 and 31st December 2018. 

The Editorial Board or Editorial Team considers all eligible papers and puts forward their nominations for each journal, based on consideration of a number of factors that may include: the significance of the scientific advance, impact, achievement and presentation of the paper, along with metrics such as the number of citations and downloads. 

The winning paper is chosen from these nominations by the Editors-in-Chief of each journal. 

All papers are considered regardless of the author’s age or geographical Location. Self-nominations are not allowed but if a paper by the Editor-in-Chief or a member of the Editorial Board is nominated by another member of the Editorial Team, an independent committee is set up to judge that paper’s relative merits. 

The final list of winning papers (one from each journal) is checked and endorsed by the IET Prizes and Awards Committee. The winners are then notified and receive a certificate.
