Network Infrastructure Security (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

Research on Internet security over the past few decades has focused mainly on information assurance, issues of data confidentiality and integrity as explored through cryptograph algorithms, digital signature, authentication code, etc. Unlike other books on network information security, Network Infrastructure Security addresses the emerging concern with better detecting and preventing routers and other network devices from being attacked or compromised.

Network Infrastructure Security bridges the gap between the study of the traffic flow of networks and the study of the actual network configuration. This book makes effective use of examples and figures to illustrate network infrastructure attacks from a theoretical point of view. The book includes conceptual examples that show how network attacks can be run, along with appropriate countermeasures and solutions.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Network infrastructure security focuses on how to detect and prevent routers and other network devices from being compromised. ... this book deals with an emerging issue that is both topical and increasingly critical for network managers across the Internet. ... The book makes effective use of figures and examples to illustrate both attacks and countermeasures. It is an excellent source of key information, and I strongly recommend it to those who have the basic knowledge to benefit from its pages." (Charles K. Davis, ACM Computing Reviews, August, 2009)
"This monograph analyzes security threats and their possible countermeasures within the Internet's layers below the application level, i.e., with its switches, routers, and related transport infrastructure. ... This book ... used as a textbook in a security course for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students. It will also interest network engineers and research practitioners. Each chapter features many helpful illustrations to facilitate an understanding of the concepts presented and ends with a reference list. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (E. M. Aupperle, Choice, Vol. 47 (8), April, 2010)
