Summary:

Security in Computing is the most complete and up-to-date college textbook now available. Enlivened by actual case studies and supported by more than 175 exercises, the book covers viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other forms of malicious code; firewalls and the protection of networked systems; E-mail privacy, including PEM, PGP, key management, and certificates; key escrow - both as a technology and in the "Clipper" program; evaluation of trusted systems, including the Common Criteria, the ITSEC, and the OrangeBook; standards for program development and quality, including ISO9000 and SEI CMM; administering secure installations of PCs, UNIX, and networked environments; and ethical and legal issues in computing. A modular, layered structure makes Security in Computing ideal for classroom use as well as a reference for professionals. Once the basic tools have been covered, the remaining chapters can be studied in any order, and to any depth desired.
