As businesses and consumers become more dependent on complex
multinational information systems, the need to understand and
devise sound information security systems has never been greater.
This title takes a practical approach to information security by
focusing on real-world examples. While not sidestepping the theory,
the emphasis is on developing the skills and knowledge that
security and information technology students and professionals need
to face their challenges. The 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 authorization, password-based
security, ACLs and capabilities, multilevel and multilateral
security, covert channels and inference control, BLP and Biba's
models, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems
* Protocols: simple authentication protocols, session keys, perfect
forward secrecy, timestamps, SSL, IPSec, Kerberos, and GSM
* Software: flaws and malware, buffer overflows, viruses and worms,
software reverse engineering, digital rights management, secure
software development, and operating systems security
Additional features include numerous figures and tables to
illustrate and clarify complex topics, as well as problems-ranging
from basic to challenging-to help readers apply their newly
developed skills. A solutions manual and a set of classroom-tested
PowerPoint(r) slides will assist instructors in their course
development. Students and professors in information technology,
computer science, and engineering, and professionals working in the
field will find this reference most useful to solve their
information security issues.
An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the
problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial
department.
An Instructor Support FTP site is also available.

"...presents information security concepts and practices
insightfully in an easily comprehensible style...Although
primarily intended as a college course resource, this book will
appeal also to many security professionals. Highly recommended."
