Course description and aims
Cybersecurity is important for our daily lives including various types of activities. There is a growing demand for students who can be researchers and engineers capable of understanding cybersecurity.
In order to satisfy this demand, Tokyo Tech has launched Progressive Graduate Minor in Cybersecurity in April, 2016. We design the curriculum of Progressive Graduate Minor in Cybersecurity in collaboration with NRI as the core, also with Rakuten, NTT, AIST, and NISC. The following six courses are organized in School of Computing: Foundation of Cybersecurity (1Q, 2-0-0), Theory of Cryptography for Cybersecurity (3Q, 2-0-0), Cybersecurity Governance (3Q, 1-1-0), Attack and Defense on Cybersecurity I (2Q, 1-1-0), Attack and Defense on Cybersecurity II (3Q, 1-1-0), and Attack and Defense on Cybersecurity III (4Q, 1-1-0).
This course is one of the core courses in this minor. Students will learn the essential elements of Information technology and information security which should be considered in system/network development and operation. The goal of this course is that the students can get practical knowledge and skills about information security through many hands-on exercises related to security tools.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able:
1) to understand computer security, and
2) to explain the important security elements and the countermeasures.
Keywords
information security, computer network
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
The class offers a standard-type of lecture and also hands-on exercise related to the topic.
