First Sentence
It is quite common for essays on the uptake of new information technology (IT) to start with a remark such as: Security concerns are a major reason for holding back the take-up of new information technologies, thus preventing citizens and companies from reaping the full benefits these technologies would offer. Read the first page

3.0 out of 5 stars Moderate, 28 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Computer Security (Worldwide Series in Computer Science) (Paperback)
The intentions of the author are good. He is well known in IT Security community.

The book is sometimes interesting, usually boring and other times too boring. Its advantage is that it is new and covers some new staff (Corba, NT). It talks about lot things but never says enough. It seems that this book needed to be another 300 pages long. Unfortunately the author "fitted" everything in 300 pages.

If you are patient and never feel sleepy buy it. It is a good introductory for computer security. I don't agree with the order he presents things because it leaves some of the interesting things for the end.

Alternatively think Security in Computing (Older but Better).. or Fundamentals of Computer Security Technology... The first is more practical and generic (very good) and the second is theoretic, good in Security Models (which cover in a simple way that everybody can understand).

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good introduction to computer security., 22 Feb 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Computer Security (Worldwide Series in Computer Science) (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book. It's good for a quick introduction into Computer Security and it covers most areas of security. I first used it as a college textbook and then brought it to my workplace. Now I hardly get to read it because my colleagues keep "borrowing" it. They like it as a reference manual because it takes a lot off the learning curve.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have in Computer Security, 13 Jun 2009
It has a good coverage of Computer Security techniques, but without getting into the details of the algorithms. A must have.
