Introduction
The Institute of Computer and Communications Security aims to cultivate top talents
in information security practices and research.
We are dedicated to nurturing future leadership in information security that will
become the backbone of cybersecurity research, industry development, and national
security.
Educational Objectives
- Cultivate knowledge in computer and communications security
- Bridge information security practices and ensure societal impacts
- Attract talent from diverse fields and promote interdisciplinary research
Overview
To align with the Ministry of Science and Technology's Information Security Talent
Cultivation Program and the Ministry of Education’s Information Security Curriculum
Project, the College of Computer Science at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung
University has, many years ago, started investing resources in the development of
information security-related research and education. It established the Information
Security Teaching Laboratory and launched related courses in information security.
In April 2005, in cooperation with the Taiwan Information Security Center (TWISC),
the university set up the Central TWISC@NCTU Teaching and Research Center.
In December 2016, to foster advanced information security talents, the university
pioneered the Hacker College, mainly planned by the College of Computer Science.
The college focuses on technical capabilities in cybersecurity, practical technical
exercises, case analysis of attacks and defenses, and application platform operations.
In 2020, TWISC@NYCU was further elevated to a university-level center.
By integrating the resources of TWISC@NYCU, Hacker College, and the National
Defense Information and Electronic Technology Center, the information security
curriculum established by the college has become the most comprehensive among
universities and colleges in Taiwan. It covers everything from fundamental
knowledge to advanced techniques and includes both software and hardware security.
Highlights
