Product Description

Product Description

Wiliiam Stallings' Network Security: Applications and Standards, 4/e is a practical survey of network security applications and standards, with unmatched support for instructors and students.

In this age of universal electronic connectivity, viruses and hackers, electronic eavesdropping, and electronic fraud, security is paramount. Network Security: Applications and Standards, 4/e provides a practical survey of network security applications and standards, with an emphasis on applications that are widely used on the Internet and for corporate networks. An unparalleled support package for instructors and students ensures a successful teaching and learning experience.

Adapted from Cryptography and Network Security, Fifth Edition, this text covers the same topics but with a much more concise treatment of cryptography. Network Security, 4/e also covers SNMP security, which is not covered in the fifth edition.

Highlights include: expanded coverage of pseudorandom number generation; new coverage of federated identity, HTTPS, Secure Shell (SSH) and wireless network security; completely rewritten and updated coverage of IPsec; and a new chapter on legal and ethical issues.

From the Back Cover

It's no longer an option. Network security is essential to every corporation, organization, institution, and small business on the planet. Anyone working in IT or other computer-related professions must know the practical applications and standards for enforcing network security. Whether student, professor, or industry professional, this book will provide you with the most up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of vital Internet-based security tools and applications. Organized to provide critical information in the optimal sequence for classroom instruction and self-study, this book also serves as a useful reference for practicing system engineers, programmers, system managers, network managers, product marketers, system support specialists and other professionals. Stallings has expanded and updated his popular first edition of Network Security Essentials to include:

  • New discussion of Advanced Encryption Standard
  • Expanded discussion of Viruses, Worms, and Intruders
  • Key words and review questions for each chapter
  • Web site for instructor and student support at

Excellent Book 6 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I have found this book as a good tutorial for Network Security. Text is easy to read and follow. Covers both basic and advanced subjects. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to understand the new, widely used concepts of network security.

Using this in an introductory course into Network security, I found the first few chapters of this book excellent for an introduction into the way things worked like encryption and general security issues. However as the book goes on, it does get quite advanced so beware!

Quick & Dirty 24 Oct 2000
By jeremycec - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book appears to be a shorter, more concise version of Stallings' "Cryptography and Network Security: Principles and Practice." It has a much shorter, and therefore less complete treatment of security concepts in general and specifically cryptography. It might be good for a focused introductory course on network-level security, but there's not much there about application-level security. Overall, I found it a little terse. I like Stallings' books on networks and computer architecture better.

For folks serious about learning network security 22 Dec 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I purchased this book as part of the required reading for an Information Security class at UCLA. From the start the book was full of very technical and detailed information. Having little practical network experience, my first reading focused on grasping the low-hanging fruit. As I read the book a second and third time I picked up some serious knowledge. It seemed like everytime I re-read a chapter there was more there to glean. I'm now studying for the CISSP and CISA. My initial cold self-assessments returned scores in the 80%-100% range. That's without CISSP/CISA-specific studying. I attribute most of that knowledge to this book. This was money well spent!

Pretty good book for serious beginners 8 Sep 2000
By Robert C. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Pretty good starting book for serious beginners in the network security area. Give you an in-depth overview of cryptography (part 1) and network security (part 2). The system security (part 3) is kind of weak. Most of the discussion are rather theoretic than practical, so you need another more practical book as companion. Anyway, understanding the contents of the book will lay a solid foundation for further exploring in the network security. BTW, if you hate math, this won't be a book for you!
