Security In Computing

Note: I have not read the newer 3rd edition (release date December 2002).
Categories: Cryptanalysis, Reference |
An Ivory Tower approach to computer security. Chapters 2 through 4 are provide a
very good (but fast paced) treatment on cryptography and cryptanalysis. The remaining
chapters deal with secure systems (Orange book mentality), database security (such
as preventing the inference of sensitive data from non-sensitive data, a la
Denning), and network security. The security section has a traditional academic
flavor to it -- nothing like the "Hacking Exposed" book.
