Santanu Sarkar has made foundational contributions across symmetric-key cryptanalysis, public key/number-theoretic attacks (including CRT-RSA and approximate common divisors), side channel analysis, and post-quantum security (e.g., small-key LWE). His work appears in flagship venues such as the Journal of Cryptology, IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Designs, Codes and Cryptography (DCC), IEEE Transactions on Computers (IEEE-TC), and IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology (ToSC), alongside premier conferences including EUROCRYPT, ASIACRYPT, CHES. He is Professor of Mathematics at IIT Madras, and has supervised multiple Ph.D. students. His recognitions include an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (Experienced Researcher), NASI Young Scientist Platinum Jubilee Award, Young Scientist Award by the Academy of Sciences, Chennai in Mathematical Sciences. He has served the community as Program Co-Chair of INDOCRYPT 2022, on editorial boards (ToSC; AMC), and on program committees for major venues (ASIACRYPT, PKC, ACNS, INDOCRYPT, among others). He has also held visiting appointments at NIST (USA), LORIA (France), and Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germany).
