Applied
Cryptography
|
Bruce
Schneier
|
John
Wiley & Sons, 1996
|
Provides
a comprehensive survey of modern cryptography. The book details
how programmers and electronic communications professionals can
use cryptography -- the technique of enciphering and deciphering
messages -- to maintain the privacy of computer data. |
Computer
Security
|
Dieter
Gollman
|
John
Wiley & Sons, 1999
|
Offers
a starting point for discovering underlying issues and provides
a means of orientation in a world populated by a bewildering
array of competing security systems. |
Hacking
Exposed
|
Stuart
McClure, et al
|
McGraw-Hill
Osborne Media, 2003
|
Talks about
security from an offensive angle. A Jane's-like catalog of the
weaponry that black-hat hackers use is laid out in full. Readers
see what programs are out there, get a rundown on what the programs
can do, and benefit from detailed explanations of concepts (such
as wardialing and rootkits) that most system administrators kind
of understand, but perhaps not in detail. |
Handbook
of Applied Cryptography
|
Alfred
J. Menezes, et al
|
CRC
Press
|
Introduces
practical aspects of conventional and public-key cryptography
and offering information on the latest techniques and algorithms
in the field. Mathematical treatments accompany practical discussions
of areas including pseudorandom bits and sequences, stream and
block ciphers, hash functions, and digital signatures. Also covers
establishment protocols, implementation, and patents and standards. |
How
to Break Software
|
James
Whittaker
|
Pearson
Addison Wesley, 2002
|
A practical
tutorial on how to actually do testing by presenting numerous
'attacks' you can perform to test your software for bugs. The
testing techniques are as flexible as conventional testing is
rigid. |
Information
Warfare and Security
|
Dorothy
E. Denning
|
Addison-Wesley
Pub Co, 1998
|
Covers threats
such as fraud, sabotage, espionage, piracy, identity theft, and
electronic warfare. |
Practical
Unix and Internet Security
|
Simson Garfinkel,
Gene Spafford
|
O'Reilly & Associates,
1996
|
The breadth
is vast, from fundamentals (definitions of computer security;
the history of Unix) and commonsense but little-observed security
basics (making backups; physical and personnel security; buggy
software) to modern software (NFS, WWW, firewalls) and the handling
of security incidents. |
The
CERT Guide to System and Network Security Practices
|
Julia
Allen
|
Addison-Wesley
Pub Co, 2001
|
Techniques
for hardening computers and networks against compromise by malice-minded
hackers, detecting break-ins and other attacks when they occur,
and designing security policies to minimize potential damage.
Specific advice has to do with locked-down workstations, servers
in DMZs, firewalls, and intrusion detection utilities. |
Trust
in Cyberspace
|
Fred
B. Schneider
|
National
Academy Press, 1999
|
In this
text, experts from industry and academia provide a detailed assessment
of the current state of the art for building trustworthy networked
information systems. They propose new directions for research
in computer and network security, software technology and system
architecture. |
