Ran Canetti Explained

Ran Canetti
Birth Place:Israel
Nationality:Israeli-American
Field:Cryptography
Native Name:רן קנטי

Ran Canetti (Hebrew: רן קנטי) is a professor of Computer Science at Boston University.[1] and the director of the Check Point Institute for Information Security[2] and of the Center for Reliable Information System and Cyber Security. He is also associate editor of the Journal of Cryptology and Information and Computation.[3] His main areas of research span cryptography and information security,[4] with an emphasis on the design, analysis and use of cryptographic protocols.

Biography

Born in 1962 in Tel Aviv, Israel, Canetti obtained his BA in Computer Science in 1989, his BA in Physics in 1990, and his M.Sc in Computer Science in 1991, all from the Technion, Haifa. He received his PhD in 1995 from the Weizmann Institute, Rehovot under the supervision of Prof. Oded Goldreich.[5] He then completed his post-doctoral training at the Lab of Computer Science, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1996 under the supervision of Prof. Shafi Goldwasser. He then joined IBM’s T.J. Watson Research Center and was a Research Staff Member until 2008.

Canetti is known for his contribution to both the practice and theory of cryptography. Prominent contributions include the Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC), the definition of which was first published in 1996 in a paper by Mihir Bellare, Ran Canetti, and Hugo Krawczyk, and the formulation of the Universally Composable Security framework, which allows analyzing security of cryptographic protocols in a modular and robust way.

Canetti is the recipient of the RSA Award for Excellence in Mathematics (2018). He is a Fellow of the Association of Cryptologic Research.[6] He received the IBM Research Outstanding Innovation Award in 2006, the IBM Corporate Award in 2005, the IBM Research Division Award in 1999, two IBM Best Paper Awards and the Kennedy Thesis Award from The Weizmann Institute.

Current roles

Since July 2011, Canetti has been a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Boston University and the Director for Research at the Center for Reliable Information Systems and Cyber Security (RISCS) at Boston University since September 2011.[7] His current positions include being the Head of the Check Point Institute of Information Security at Tel Aviv University, the Editor for the Journal of Cryptography and Editor of Information and Computation,[8] and an advisor at Identiq, a Peer-to-Peer Identity Validation Network.[9]

Canetti currently lives in Brookline, MA. He is married to Ronitt Rubinfeld. They have two daughters.
