Introduction to Computer Security An excellent, beautifully written introduction to the subject of computer security--by a master teacher and practitioner.

An introduction to the science and challenges of computer security, useful as either a self-teaching tool or a classroom text.

Trimmed down and less expensive version of Bishop's definitive work on computer security, with more mathematical and advanced sections removed.

A well-known security expert and educator, Bishop's command over the subject is tremendous.

By removing material from the original book, Computer Security: Art and Science (0201440997, AWP), that is highly mathematical or otherwise difficult for many readers to understand, Matt Bishop has made his authoritative work on computer security art and science more accessible both for professionals new to the field and undergraduate students. The organization of the abridged book follows the syllabus Bishop includes in his current work for a nonmathematical undergraduate course. It focuses more on the application of theory than the theory itself. Readers learn quickly how to implement security. Product Description
In this authoritative book, widely respected practitioner and teacher Matt Bishop presents a clear and useful introduction to the art and science of information security. Bishop's insights and realistic examples will help any practitioner or student understand the crucial links between security theory and the day-to-day security challenges of IT environments.

Bishop explains the fundamentals of security: the different types of widely used policies, the mechanisms that implement these policies, the principles underlying both policies and mechanisms, and how attackers can subvert these tools--as well as how to defend against attackers. A practicum demonstrates how to apply these ideas and mechanisms to a realistic company.

Coverage includes

Confidentiality, integrity, and availability

Operational issues, cost-benefit and risk analyses, legal and human factors

Planning and implementing effective access control

Defining security, confidentiality, and integrity policies

Using cryptography and public-key systems, and recognizing their limits

Understanding and using authentication: from passwords to biometrics

Security design principles: least-privilege, fail-safe defaults, open design, economy of mechanism, and more

Controlling information flow through systems and networks

Assuring security throughout the system lifecycle

Malicious logic: Trojan horses, viruses, boot sector and executable infectors, rabbits, bacteria, logic bombs--and defenses against them

Vulnerability analysis, penetration studies, auditing, and intrusion detection and prevention

Applying security principles to networks, systems, users, and programs

Introduction to Computer Security is adapted from Bishop's comprehensive and widely praised book, Computer Security: Art and Science. This shorter version of the original work omits much mathematical formalism, making it more accessible for professionals and students who have a less formal mathematical background, or for readers with a more practical than theoretical interest.
