  • 2020 - ACM Fellow For fundamental, pioneering contributions to the theory of computation, probabilistic algorithms, and cryptography
  • 2007 - Fellow of the Royal Society, United Kingdom
  • 2003 - ACM Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award Development of efficient randomized tests of primality
  • 1984 - Member of the National Academy of Sciences
  • 1976 - A. M. Turing Award Along with Dana S. Scott, for their joint paper "Finite Automata and Their Decision Problem," which introduced the idea of nondeterministic machines, which has proved to be an enormously valuable concept. Their (Scott & Rabin) classic paper has been a continuous source of inspiration for subsequent work in this field.
  • 1975 - Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
