This book provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of computer
and Internet security, suitable for a one-term introductory course
for junior/senior undergrad or first-year graduate students. It is
also suitable for self-study by anyone seeking a solid footing in
security - including software developers and computing
professionals, technical managers and government staff. An
overriding focus is on brevity, without sacrificing breadth of core
topics or technical detail within them. The aim is to enable a
broad understanding in roughly 350 pages. Further prioritization is
supported by designating as optional selected content within this.
Fundamental academic concepts are reinforced by specifics and
examples, and related to applied problems and real-world incidents.
The first chapter provides a gentle overview and 20 design
principles for security. The ten chapters that follow provide a
framework for understanding computer and Internet security. They
regularly refer back to the principles, with supporting examples.
These principles are the conceptual counterparts of
security-related error patterns that have been recurring in
software and system designs for over 50 years. The book is
"elementary" in that it assumes no background in security, but
unlike "soft" high-level texts it does not avoid low-level details,
instead it selectively dives into fine points for exemplary topics
to concretely illustrate concepts and principles. The book is
rigorous in the sense of being technically sound, but avoids both
mathematical proofs and lengthy source-code examples that typically
make books inaccessible to general audiences. Knowledge of
elementary operating system and networking concepts is helpful, but
review sections summarize the essential background. For graduate
students, inline exercises and supplemental references provided in
per-chapter endnotes provide a bridge to further topics and a
springboard to the research literature; for those in industry and
government, pointers are provided to helpful surveys and relevant
standards, e.g., documents from the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF), and the U.S. National Institute of Standards and
Technology.
