This far-reaching discussion takes you into the techniques, technology, ethics, and laws at the center of the biggest revolution in the history of network security.
Full Description
Although most people don't give security much attention until their personal or business systems are attacked, this thought-provoking anthology demonstrates that digital security is not only worth thinking about, it's also a fascinating topic. Criminals succeed by exercising enormous creativity, and those defending against them must do the same.
Beautiful Security explores this challenging subject with insightful essays and analysis on topics that include:
* The underground economy for personal information: how it works, the relationships among criminals, and some of the new ways they pounce on their prey
* How social networking, cloud computing, and other popular trends help or hurt our online security
* How metrics, requirements gathering, design, and law can take security to a higher level
* The real, little-publicized history of PGP
This book includes contributions from:
* Peiter "Mudge" Zatko
* Jim Stickley
* Elizabeth Nichols
* Chenxi Wang
* Ed Bellis
* Ben Edelman
* Phil Zimmermann and Jon Callas
* Kathy Wang
* Mark Curphey
* John McManus
* James Routh
* Randy V. Sabett
* Anton Chuvakin
* Grant Geyer and Brian Dunphy
* Peter Wayner
* Michael Wood and Fernando Francisco

"This collection of essays is a very clearly written introduction to a number of current topics and techniques in computer security. It is not a how-to book, but it includes several case studies and gives you a good idea of what is happening in the field. For the most part the book does not assume prior knowledge in the field, although occasionally a bit of hacker or security jargon is used without being defined. "
