Widely known as one of the "Fathers of the Internet," Cerf is the
co-designer of the TCP/IP protocols and the architecture of the
Internet. In December 1997, President Clinton presented the U.S.
National Medal of Technology to Cerf and his colleague, Robert E. Kahn,
for founding and developing the Internet. Kahn and Cerf were named the
recipients of the ACM Alan M. Turing award in 2004 for their work on the
Internet protocols. The Turing award is sometimes called the "Nobel
Prize of Computer Science." In November 2005, President George Bush
awarded Cerf and Kahn the Presidential Medal of Freedom for their work.
The medal is the highest civilian award given by the United States to
its citizens. In April 2008, Cerf and Kahn received the prestigious Japan Prize. See complete bio.
