For the past three decades, Israel has maintained its position as a leading powerhouse for Cyber Security innovation. Our Cyber Security: Fundamental Technologies of Cyber Security program is focused on the technical aspects of Cyber Security. We invite you to join us as we examine the fundamental technologies of cyber security systems, including: Block Chain; Cryptology; Hash Function; Crypto-Techniques; Asymmetric Encryption; and much more. Students begin the program by participating in the world renowned Cyber Security conference that takes place on the TAU campus. “Cyber Week” is an annual leading international conference in cybersecurity held at Tel Aviv University. The conference offers a unique gathering of cybersecurity experts, bringing together industry leaders, startups, investors, academics, diplomats, and other government officials. Delivering a thought-provoking exchange of knowledge, methods, and ideas, the events of the conference will include roundtables, panels, workshops, forums, BSides, competitions, and more. In the past, Cyber Week has hosted over 5,000 attendees from more than 50 countries. The conference is hosted by the Blavatnik Interdisciplinary Cyber Research Center (ICRC), The Yuval Ne’eman Workshop for Science, Technology and Security, Tel Aviv University, the Israeli National Cyber Directorate under the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Following the conference, students will participate in a 4-credit course on Fundamental Technologies of Cyber Security.

Students interested in this program should be majoring in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Students not in these majors may still apply provided they have a course background in these areas or in Math. Students should have taken at least one prior course in Programming Language (Java, C).
