A strategic guide to the future of security for Web-based transactions. The book offers a tutorial on the technical and business issues and a customizable methodology for your own organization.

A plain-language tutorial on the most important security technology for Internet applications With major efforts underway to standardize a successful public key infrastructure (PKI) system, there is a growing need among network and security managers for authoritative information on PKI technology. This book offers a plain-language tutorial for people with limited technical background but with acute business need to understand how PKI works. Written by a widely recognized expert in the field, Public Key Infrastructure Essentials explains how a successful PKI system can provide both security and privacy for Web-based applications through assigning encrypted keys to individuals or documents. Readers will find extensive business case studies and learn how to qualify vendors, write a Certification Practice Statement (CPS), build directories, and implement mechanisms for issuing, accepting, and revoking digital certificates.

TOM AUSTIN is a consultant, speaker, and columnist in the field of information security and has recently written the PKI training course for Network Associates. He writes for ComputerWorld, Internetwork, and SC Infosecurity News.
