Security Without Obscurity

A Guide to Confidentiality, Authentication, and Integrity

Beschreibung

The traditional view of information security includes three cornerstones: confidentiality, integrity, and availability; however the author asserts authentication is the third keystone. As the field has become more complex, novices and professionals need a reliable reference that outlines the basics. Rather than focusing on compliance or policies and procedures, this book takes a top-down approach. Providing insight from the author's experience developing dozens of standards, it provides an understanding of how to approach information security from the bedrock principles of confidentiality, integrity, and authentication.
