Your expert guide to information security

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 informationtechnology, 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.
