Profiles of Chinese Cyber Security Universities

This 2018 briefing paper assembles public source information on Chinese universities and several research institutes that are prominent in cybersecurity studies in China. It is based largely on material from the websites of the various institutions. In many cases, the material is simply a translation of entries in Chinese on the websites. The authors have not sought to verify any of the information from independent sources. The briefing paper was prepared as part of the background research for a project culminating in the publication of Cybersecurity in China: The Next Wave (Springer 2018). The selection was based on information from Chinese sources about the most important research and education centres. Some centres, such as the Harbin Institute of Technology, which is among these leading universities, have not been addressed in this note. Readers may be interested in consulting Chapter Two of the book referred to above to see how this material informed judgments on related topics.
