Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Authored by four RSA Security experts in the field, PKI: Implementing and Managing E-Security aims to explain the vulnerabilities of encryption in today's Internet-based business universe and lay out how the application of PKI can help. While strong encryption methods exist that offer plenty of security for commercial-level protection, issues such as identification, authorisation and reliable issuance of digital signatures require a broader set of standards. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is just such a framework, addressing all of the issues for complete solutions.
Authored by four RSA Security experts in the field, PKI: Implementing and Managing E-Security aims to explain the vulnerabilities of encryption in today's Internet-based business universe and lay out how the application of PKI can help. While strong encryption methods exist that offer plenty of security for commercial-level protection, issues such as identification, authorisation and reliable issuance of digital signatures require a broader set of standards. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is just such a framework, addressing all of the issues for complete solutions.
The authors frankly point out the areas where PKI is still immature in the real world and try to inspire their readers with their zeal to solve the remaining problems.
The book begins with an exploration of cryptography and, in particular, public-key cryptography--the accepted approach for most of today's security systems. The text moves quickly into precise security terminology but makes excellent use of creative diagrams to illustrate configurations and scenarios. These diagrams often beg a bit of reflection since they are frequently used to point out vulnerabilities that may not be immediately apparent.
The heart of the book examines the management of keys and certificates, authentication and the establishment of trust models. There are overviews of current technologies that implement PKI but the focus of the book is to encourage readers to construct their own fully compliant solutions.
PKI: Implementing and Managing E-Security is not light reading. However, it serves double duty as being an overview to the sticky issues of securing information delivery over the Net as well as being a comprehensive look at the scope of PKI for those considering a fully fledged solution for their extranets and e-commerce sites. --Stephen W Plain
