Anne Canteaut is a French researcher in cryptography, working at the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (INRIA) in Paris. She studies the design and cryptanalysis of symmetric-key algorithms and S-boxes.

Education and career

Canteaut earned a diploma in engineering from ENSTA Paris in 1993.{{cite web|url=https://www.ensta.org/fr/profil/anne.canteaut|title=Anne Canteaut|publisher=ENSTA Paris|accessdate=2020-10-14}} She completed her doctorate at Pierre and Marie Curie University in 1996, with the dissertation Attaques de cryptosystèmes à mots de poids faible et construction de fonctions t-résilientes supervised by {{ill|Paul Camion|fr}}.{{mathgenealogy|id=143133}}

She is currently the chair of the INRIA Evaluation Committee,{{cite web |date=October 18, 2022 |title=Inria Evaluation Committee |url=https://www.inria.fr/en/inria-evaluation-committee |access-date=December 26, 2022 |website=Inria}} and of the FSE steering committee.{{cite web |last=Knudsen |first=Lars R. |author-link=Lars Ramkilde Knudsen |date=December 21, 2020 |title=Fast Software Encryption (FSE) |url=https://www.paris.inria.fr/secret/Anne.Canteaut/FSE/ |access-date=December 26, 2022 |website=Inria}} She was the scientific leader of the INRIA team SECRET between 2007 and 2019.

Cryptographic primitives

Canteaut has contributed to the design of several new cryptographic primitives:
