Guides Students in Understanding the Interactions between
Computing/Networking Technologies and Security Issues
Taking an interactive, "learn-by-doing" approach to teaching,
Introduction to Computer and Network Security: Navigating Shades of
Gray gives you a clear course to teach the technical issues related
to security. Unlike most computer security books, which concentrate
on software design and implementation, cryptographic tools, or
networking issues, this text also explores how the interactions
between hardware, software, and users affect system security.
The book presents basic principles and concepts, along with
examples of current threats to illustrate how the principles can
either enable or neutralize exploits. Students see the importance
of these concepts in existing and future technologies. In a
challenging yet enjoyable way, they learn about a variety of
technical topics, including current security exploits, technical
factors that enable attacks, and economic and social factors that
determine the security of future systems.
Extensively classroom-tested, the material is structured around
a set of challenging projects. Through staging exploits and
choosing countermeasures to neutralize the attacks in the projects,
students learn:
- How computer systems and networks operate
- How to reverse-engineer processes
- How to use systems in ways that were never foreseen (or
supported) by the original developers
Combining hands-on work with technical overviews, this text
helps you integrate security analysis into your technical computing
curriculum. It will educate your students on security issues, such
as side-channel attacks, and deepen their understanding of how
computers and networks work.
