Greetings
"Project for Establishing a Nationwide Practical Education Network for IT Human Resources Development - Education Network for Practical Information Technologies (enPiT)" is an educational program aiming at nurturing advanced IT human resources. The objective is to train students to solve real world problems through a unique program including specialized lectures and exercises organized
under the cooperation of universities and industries.
In the "security field (enPiT - Security)", 14 universities jointly launched the Basic SecCap program.
There is an urgent need for qualified personnel in the cyber security field. The program focuses on the development of practical skills. This is an effort to develop a practical educational program, which includes various teaching methods and is based on the collaboration between universities and industry or security related organizations.
Given the evolution of (mobile) networks and the threat of advanced information security, we need to train human resources with the necessary fundamental knowledge and practical skills necessary for risk management. The curriculum consists of "basic courses", "specialized courses", "practical courses", and "Advanced practical courses".
- "Basic courses": Acquire basic knowledge of information security.
- "Specialized courses": Master basic knowledge and advanced knowledge. It is carried out in four universities, and remote participation is also possible from other schools.
- "Practical courses": Use learned knowledge and acquire practical experience through practical exercises. There are multiple Problem Based Learning (PBL) courses available.
- "Advanced practical courses": Acquire additional practical experience. It consists of graduate school internships and advanced PBL courses.
This program can produce excellent human resources due to its specific structure: focus on practical experience (via PBL) and cooperation with industry.
Applicants who complete this course will receive a SecCap completion certificate.

In this lecture, students will learn the following important topics in cyber security area as a specialized course of Basic SecCap Course.
Foundations of Security
Understanding Cryptography from Mathematical Modeling Perspective
In cryptographic technology such as public-key cryptosystems, it is indispensable to guarantee "no leakage of secret information." So, how should we guarantee it? In this lecture, we study how to model cryptosystems and analyze their security mathematically by an approach from fundamental theories of the information science.
Information Security from an algebraic point of view
The principle of security technology, its secrity proof, and the efficiency is based on various theorems in algebra. How we use algebra in practical information security? By acquiring techniques to apply complicated algebraic theorems to practical information security, we aim for practical acquisition of algebra that enables construction of another security technology.
Exercise for Security Evaluation and Implementation of Practical Cryptosystems
We study fundamental notions of symmetric-key cryptography (such as block ciphers, stream ciphers, modes of operation, message authentication, etc.) and ideas of security evaluation for symmetric-key cryptosystems with specific application examples
Malware Analysis by Python
We study techniques for malware analysis, which is a one of skills more highly rated as engineers in the real world. In particular, we understand the techniques and then master them by nearly hands-on exercises.
IoT Devices and Their Cybersecurity
The era of the Internet of Things (IoT), in which everything connects to the Internet, is coming. We study securing devices and security countermeasures for communication to provide against cyberattacks by reviewing past incidents. In particular, we consider primitives that protect connected cars and general IoT devices.
International Standardization
Standardization is indispensable for dissemination of security technology. We study how to standardize security technology using concrete examples.
