Now updated--your expert guide to twenty-first century information
security
Information security is a rapidly evolving field. As businesses
and consumers become increasingly dependent on complex
multinational information systems, it is more imperative than ever
to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data. Featuring a
wide array of new information on the most current security issues,
this fully updated and revised edition of Information Security:
Principles and Practice provides the skills and knowledge readers
need to tackle any information security challenge.
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 cryptanalysisAccess control:
authentication and authorization, 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 systemsProtocols: simple
authentication protocols, session keys, perfect forward secrecy,
timestamps, SSH, SSL, IPSec, Kerberos, WEP, and GSMSoftware: 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.
Minimizing theory while providing clear, accessible content,
Information Security remains the premier text for students and
instructors in information technology, computer science, and
engineering, as well as for professionals working in these
fields.
A solutions manual is available. Please email [email protected]
