Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

In this course we introduce the basic concepts of Cybersecurity. We talk about the challenges the interconnectedness of the cyberspace poses to computer networks, the concept of risk, typical patterns of vulnerabilities, attacks and mitigation strategies. We introduce, in a non-technical fashion, the basic concepts of cryptography, and the typical cryptographic building blocks: encryption, digital signatures, authentication codes, public key and secret key infrastructures. We talk about how these building blocks are used to construct secure networks. We also touch upon the legal frameworks handling cyber attacks. Finally we discuss cybersecurity in the context of Japan and East Asia.
