About this title

Synopsis

This comprehensive yet comprehensible guide to network security offers readers the most lucid explanations of the inner workings of network security protocols. It explains the latest developments in this field that has become so critical to our global network-dependent society. The second edition brings together clear, insightful, and clever explanations of every key facet of information security, from the basics to advanced cryptography and authentication, secure Web and email services, and emerging security standards. The authors have gone far beyond just documentation of standards and technology. They have contrasted competing schemes, explained their strengths and weaknesses, and identified the crucial errors most likely to compromise secure systems. Network Security can not only be used as a textbook at the undergraduate/postgraduate levels for students of computer science, but will also appeal to a wide range of professionals who wish to have a better understanding of this important field.
