In 2003 Bellare was a recipient of RSA Conference's Sixth Annual Award for outstanding contributions in the field of mathematics for his research in cryptography.[3] In 2013 he became a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.[4] In 2019 he was awarded Levchin Prize for Real-World Cryptography for his outstanding contributions to the design and analysis of real-world cryptosystems, including the development of random oracle model, modes of operation, HMAC, and models for key exchange.[5]
Bellare's papers cover topics including:
- HMAC
- Random oracle
- OAEP
- Probabilistic signature scheme
- Provable security
- Format-preserving encryption
On September 14, 2022, Bellare was appointed by the mayor of San Diego to the city's Privacy Advisory Board.[6][2]
