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 and focuses on web security, one of the most important elements of cybersecurity. In particular, we first focus on OWASP Top 10, which represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications. Then, based on it, the students will acquire practical knowledge on the attack and the defence on web security.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to understand:
1) the overview of web security
2) the primitives of web security
3) the tools used in web security.

Keywords

security, information security, cybersecurity, cryptography, network, software, programming, web application

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 and a hands-on exercise style of lecture.
