Product Review


"a very nice and well-written introduction to the essential concepts of computer security. The book is loaded with examples and exercises that are useful in learning the material. This is a book I would not hesitate to give to someone who had very little computer experience and wanted to learn the core concepts of security. The material covered is very broad in scope; however the essentials were well treated and easy to comprehend." (Richard Jankowski, The Book Review Column by William Gasarch, 2008)
