Internet Security Protocols: Protecting IP Traffic (Prentice-Hall series in advanced communications technologies) (Hardcover)

In explaining an aspect of IP security, Black typically opens with a statement of what the protocol or technology at hand is good for, examining how it fits with other elements of IP security and citing relevant standards documents. From there, he moves on to how the technology works, typically with the help of conceptual schematics and packet diagrams. Special features get focused discussion, and you will usually find a couple of annotated diagram sequences to help clarify what happens in specific applications of the technology. There are some very fine explanations of such widely applicable techniques as public-key cryptography and certification authorities too. Read this book for its conceptual clarity; back it up with another security text that addresses the administration-level specifics of your operating environment. --David Wall
