Product Description
Tutorial in style, this volume provides a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art of the entire field of computer security. First covers the threats to computer systems (which motivate the field of computer security); then discusses all the models, techniques, and mechanisms designed to thwart those threats as well as known methods for exploiting vulnerabilities; and closes with an exploration of security evaluation of computer systems--the science and art that attempts to grade a particular implementation of computer security. For engineers and scientists interested in computer security.

Customer Reviews & Comments
I read the book, mainly because I was a student in one of Dr. Amoroso's courses at Stevens Institute of Technology. If you think that all he did was read from the book, you're wrong. The book provided a great background for the upcoming classes. It introduced concepts and terms, providing the information necessary to have a basic understanding of the concept or term. It's worth having around, especially if you want or need to know theories behind computer security.
