Computer Security

A Hands-on Approach

Beschreibung

This book is a part of another book titled "Computer & Internet Security: A Hands-on Approach, 2nd Edition" (687 pages). It is created to lower the cost on students, as many courses only need this part. It covers 17 of the 26 chapters. This book is based on the author's 18 years of teaching and research experience. It covers the fundamental principles in Computer Security, including software security, hardware security, web security, and cryptography. Its goal is to help readers understand how various attacks work, what their fundamental causes are, how to defend against them, and how various defense mechanisms work. The book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses. The author strongly believes in "learning by doing", so the book takes a hands-on approach. For each security principle, the book uses a series of hands-on activities to help explain the principle; readers can "touch", play with, and experiment with the principle, instead of just reading about it. For instance, if a security principle involves an attack, the book guides readers to actually launch the attack (in a contained environment). Readers can learn better from such hands-on activities. The hands-on activities are based on the author's widely adopted SEED Labs, which have been used by over 1000 institutes in more than 65 countries.

Autor

Dr. Wenliang (Kevin) Du is the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor of Teaching Excellence at Syracuse University. He received his PhD degree in computer science from Purdue University. He has taught courses in cybersecurity at both undergraduate and graduate levels since 2001. He also teaches courses on Udemy, and his courses frequently receive the "highest rated" recognition. As a firm believer of "learning by doing", he has developed over 40 hands-on labs called SEED labs, so students can gain first-hand experiences on security attacks, countermeasures, and fundamental security principles. These labs are widely known: more than 1000 institutes worldwide have adopted these labs in their curricula. Du received the "2017 Academic Leadership" award from the 21st Colloquium for Information System Security Education. In 2019, Syracuse University awarded him the Meredith Professorship for Teaching Excellence.Professor Du conducts research in cybersecurity, with a specific interest in system security. He has published over 100 technical papers. His research work has been cited for over 16,600 times (as of May 2022, based on Google Scholar). He is a recipient of the 2013 ACM CCS Test-of-Time Award and the 2021 ACSAC Test-of-Time Award. His current research focuses on building an Internet emulator for cybersecurity education and research.
