Research Accomplishment for Privacy Technology Impact on Science (2008)
The team created three new fields of research: Compliance Auditing, Sovereign Information Sharing (also called Sovereign Information Integration) and Order Preserving Encryption, which extend the international privacy agenda. The team furthered the agenda in data de-identification by creating optimal k-anonymization, and demonstrated how these technologies can and should be applied to industry verticals. This effort is innovative because: 1) it demonstrated that database-level privacy technology is a viable goal and it created the groundwork in the field of enabling data-level, policy-compliant systems, 2) the state of the art in auditing would require large storage footprints and severely reduced system performance. The Compliance Auditing technology demonstrates that this does not have to be the case, 3) information sharing was thought impossible in a secure and privacy-preserving manner without a third party and within reasonable timescales prior to our contribution to the research community, and 4) it enabled efficient processing of encrypted data and data de-identification.

Research Division Award for Contributions to WebSphere Messaging (2007)
WebSphere Platform Messaging (WPM) is a full function asynchronous messaging service for the WebSphere product family. Research contributed fundamental architectural concepts, input to the Initial Functional Specification, and input to the overall software architecture of WP. Researchers were integral members of the design and implementation teams for three major WPM subcomponents: Message Formats and Parsing (MFP), Message Processor, and Message Store. The effort has generated tens of millions for IBM.
Research Division Award for Unraveling RFID Networks (2005)
The team developed and prototyped a generic cross-industry middleware for tracing object movements across enterprises. The middleware is based on the current standard proposed by EPCglobal. However, considering that a central discovery service approach might not be acceptable to our customers, the team also developed a version of the middleware that does not require any central authority. All data can be kept within each individual enterprise and the middleware automatically detects which enterprises need to be contacted in order to completely answer a query. Policy enforcement through Hippocratic Database (HDB) technology is used to ensure confidentiality of business-critical data.
First Computerworld Horizon Award (2005)
The Computerworld Horizon Awards were established in 2005 to make readers aware of especially cutting-edge technologies from research labs and companies that are looming on the horizon. The awards winners were selected by a panel of 10 distinguished technologists who reviewed and scored the nominees. Based on those evaluations, Computerworld chose eight Horizon Award winners and 20 honorable mentions. Sovereign Information Integration is one of eight winners in 2005.
Industry Week's Notable Innovation of the Year (2005)
Industry Week's Technology and Innovation Awards Program celebrates the primary drivers of the world's economic progress -- innovators and technologies. The awards are given in the spirit of Josef Schumpeter, the distinguished Harvard economist and social theorist who posited more than 50 years ago that the mission of both organizations and societies should be to accelerate the pace of innovation. Sovereign Information Integration is one of this year's eighteennotable innovations, a spot shared with Blue Gene Supercomputing Technology.
Scientific American 50 (2003).
This award recognizes fifty individuals, companies, and other organizations whose accomplishments in research, business, or policymaking demonstrate outstanding technological leadership. The winners are selected from many technological sectors including agriculture, chemicals and materials, communications, computing, energy, environment, medical treatment and more. In 2003, the magazine selected only 17 in the research category. Rakesh Agrawal was selected by the magazine’s editorial board and distinguished advisors as the Research Leader in Privacy and Security for devising methods to preserve the privacy of information in large databases.
