4.0 out of 5 stars Rigorous and coherent reference on the foundations of computer security, 12 Feb 2009
By Dr. F. Stajano "filologo disneyano" (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fundamentals of Computer Security Technology (Paperback)
A rigorous yet very readable textbook covering the foundations of computer security (threat trees, access control, security policies etc.) with an emphasis on mathematical modelling. Pre-chews the often obfuscated first-hand sources and presents their contents in a consistent and understandable framework. Sets each topic in its historical context and provides authoritative references. The reason I'm giving it "only" four stars rather than five is because the prose tends to be somewhat bland rather than lively and engaging; but this is nevertheless a very valuable tutorial and reference, which also features a well-annotated bibliography. As a security professional, I wouldn't want to be without this book on my shelf.
