In March 4 2010, NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) has announced that Prof. Imai Hideki, the Director of the Research Center for Information Security (RCIS) in the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), (and also a Professor in Chuo University) is awarded the 61st NHK Broadcast Cultural Award.

His award is based on his long-term contribution to the broadcasting and communication industry, especially on both the fundamental research on the coding theory which has become a basis of today's digital broadcasting systems, and the research on the cryptography which enables secure transmission of digital contents such as "NHK on-demand" digital movie libraries.
