Not suitable as a textbook 20 May 2011
By Jean Val Jean - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The book definitely the reflects the author's deep intuition about the field of computer security. It's full of insight and useful generalizations.

However, such an abstract discussion is not appropriate for undergraduate level textbook. Especially, if this is the first time the student is exposed to security thinking.

For someone working in the field, the approach means a lot. It provides the often missed theoretical and general outlook.
