Now there is an extensive guide to the principles and practice of information security available - Information Security: Principles and Practice, Second Edition.
Taking a practical approach to information security by focusing on real-world examples, this book is organized around four major themes:
- Cryptography: classic cryptosystems, symmetric key cryptography, public key cryptography, hash functions, random numbers, information hiding, and cryptanalysis
- Access control: authentication and authorisation, password-based security, ACLs and capabilities, multilevel security and compartments, covert channels and inference control, security models such as BLP and Biba's model, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems
- Protocols: simple authentication protocols, session keys, perfect forward secrecy, timestamps, SSH, SSL, IPSec, Kerberos, WEP, and GSM
- Software: flaws and malware, buffer overflows, viruses and worms, malware detection, software reverse engineering, digital rights management, secure software development, and operating systems security
This second edition features new discussions of relevant security topics such as the SSH and WEP protocols, practical RSA timing attacks, botnets, and security certification. New background material has been added, including a section on the Enigma cipher and coverage of the classic 'orange book' view of security. Also featured are a greatly expanded and upgraded set of homework problems and many new figures, tables, and graphs to illustrate and clarify complex topics and problems.
A comprehensive set of classroom-tested PowerPoint slides and a solutions manual are available to assist in course development for training providers that wish to use this guide as a textbook.
Minimizing theory while providing clear, accessible content, Information Security: Principles and Practice, Second Edition remains the premier text for students and instructors in information technology, computer science, and engineering, as well as for professionals working in these fields.
