Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
"Web-based applications" is getting to be a redundant term, but that only highlights the fact that up-to-date programmers need to be familiar with the strategies and practices used to build modern networked software. Designing Secure Web-Based Applications for Microsoft Windows 2000 explains precisely what its title specifies: the mechanisms for allowing Windows programs to communicate over the network while maintaining security, plus their ways of fitting into complete product architectures. It's a complete engineering document, really, with considerable information on identifying security threats, giving them relative weights, and deciding how to deal with them in the designs of your systems. The authors have both done their homework and worked in industry, and it's a pleasure to read their distilled knowledge.
Early sections are more academic (which is not at all to say they're not very much worthwhile), while later chapters deal with specific security strategies and particular products' security features. The authors aren't vague. They tell you how they think you should design your programs (storing hashes, rather than passwords, in a database to allow for intrusion into the database, for example) and what you need to do, specifically (there's not a lot of code, but enough to give heft to what would otherwise be purely high-level advice). The authors stick to the Microsoft world, naturally, but aren't reluctant to point out security problems in Windows. This is a great volume for anyone designing Windows software that will share information over a network and need to use authentication, non-repudiation, encryption, and other security techniques. --David Wall, amazon.com
Topics covered: Network security features of Windows 2000, Internet Explorer 5, SQL Server 7, SQL Server 2000, and COM+ 1.0, as well as the engineering tradeoffs involved in making software secure enough for safety but open enough for reliability.
Product Description
Developers of Web-based applications get expert guidance for taking advantage of the sophisticated security features in Windows 2000 -- all in one comprehensive volume. This definitive guide provides a solid foundation in security theory and concepts, explains the key software design considerations for various categories and levels of security, and discusses ways to apply the appropriate security to mitigate risk. It also covers a range of security technologies, including NTLM authentication, Kerberos authentication, SSL/TLS, CryptoAPI, ACLs, Active Directory services, certificates, and COM+ security.

The author has a clear understanding of the security issues in a W2000 environment. Unlike many books, which superficially cover the area of security, specific information is given enabling you to implement the appropriate actions or pointing you in the right direction to learn more.
One of the most useful books I have read on W2000 security.
Format:Paperback
An excellent overview of all the components required to build and deploy a secure application using Windows 2000 technologies. Highly recommended.
Format:Paperback
The authors of this book obviously know their stuff, but are unable to pass it on. The book is a list of what is available from Microsoft and step-by-step how to implement it in a patronizing "Click Start" kind of way. However, it fails to give the reasons why features are implemented in such and such a way. Instead of giving the threat and telling us how Microsoft deals with it in their products, the authors drone on about what all the options for X do. In short one cannot try and read this cover-to-cover, it is quite handy as a reference but I'm sure the on-line references are sufficient for this kind of stuff.
