Ran Canetti (Hebrew: רן קנטי) is an Israeli cryptographer. He is a professor of Computer Science at Boston University, a director of the Check Point Institute for Information Security at Tel-Aviv University, and a director of the Center for Reliable Information System and Cyber Security at Boston University. He is known for work spanning multiple areas of cryptography, with an emphasis on the design, analysis and use of cryptographic protocols.

Biography

Canetti was born in 1962 in Tel Aviv. He received a BA in computer science in 1989, a BA in physics in 1990, and an M.Sc. in computer science in 1991, all from the Technion. He received a PhD in 1995 from the Weizmann Institute advised by Oded Goldreich. From 1995 to 1996, he was a postdoctoral researcher at MIT working with Shafi Goldwasser. He then joined IBM’s T.J. Watson Research Center and was a research staff member until 2008.

Since July 2011, Canetti has been a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Boston University, and since September 2011 he has been the director for research at the Center for Reliable Information Systems and Cyber Security (RISCS) at Boston University. He is currently the head of the Check Point Institute of Information Security at Tel Aviv University, an associate editor for the Journal of Cryptology and for Information and Computation, and an advisor at Identiq, a peer-to-peer identity validation network.

Canetti is known for contributions to the theory and practice of cryptography. In 1996, along with Mihir Bellare and Hugo Krawczyk, he introduced the Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) and the formulation of the Universally Composable Security framework, which allows analyzing security of cryptographic protocols in a modular and robust way.

Recognition

Canetti is the recipient of the RSA Award for Excellence in Mathematics (2018). He is a Fellow of the Association of Cryptologic Research. 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.
