At the closing ceremony of the IFIP SEC 2003 conference on 28 May in Athens, Greece it was announced that professor Roger Needham was the 2003 recipient of IFIP TC-11's Kristian Beckman Award.
Sadly, Roger Needham passed away on 1 March of this year. Well known from Cambridge University and Microsoft Research, he has contributed largely to the field of computer science and not in the last place to the area of security.
