Game Development for Improving Information Security Awareness of Students by Implementing a Viewpoint of Attacking

Abstract

In recent years, information security has become more important due to the development of the information society, and there is an increasing need for people using the Internet to think about information security. In this research, we proposed a “awareness improvement game” and developed a prototype of the game for students to improve their awareness of information security. In the system, we expected that even beginners of information security could learn information security by using gamification. In addition, we focused on the “viewpoint of attacking” related to information security and introduced the “viewpoint of attacking” into the game, we expected to know what they need to pay attention to in their daily lives.
