Gildas Avoine is a professor of information security and cryptography at INSA Rennes (France) and he conducts his research at IRISA, as a member of the SPICY research group. He is also a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France.
In addition to his academis duties, Gildas Avoine served as president of the scientific council of ANSSI, from 2019 to 2026
From 2021 to 2023, he was the CNRS' Scientific Manager (jointly with CEA and Inria) of the funding programme "PEPR Cybersécurité", which has a budget of 65 million euros.
From 2015 to 2021, Gildas Avoine was the director of the CNRS' Scientific Network in Cybersecurity (GDR Sécurité Informatique), which brings together more than 1,500 researchers.
He also headed from 2022 to 2024 the research activities in computer science at INSA Rennes (about 65 faculty members, PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and engineers).
From 2014 to 2018, he was the chair of the European COST Action Cryptacus (IC1403) about cryptanalysis in ubiquitous computing systems, which involved 30 countries.
Previously, Gildas Avoine was a professor at the UCL in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium), a postdoctoral researcher at MIT (USA) where he was hosted by Ron Rivest in the CSAIL, and a PhD student at EPFL (Switzerland) under the supervision of Serge Vaudenay, and earned a PhD in cryptography. He studied at the University of Caen (France) where he earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics and bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science.

Research Interests
My research activities are related to cryptography and information security, especially (but not only) cryptographic protocols. My current work addresses cryptanalytic time-memory trade-offs, cryptanalysis of protocols, disk encryption, and password-related security.
