Review
From the reviews: "This book on access control systems centers on security, identity management, and trust models. … The book includes adequate references and a handy index. … The coverage of topics in the book is satisfactory. The book will be useful for those who wish to go deep into mechanisms for access control. It may be used for advanced courses in information security. Practitioners and university students are likely to benefit from reading it. I recommend this book as a useful reference for access control." (S. V. Nagaraj, Computing Reviews, December, 2006)
From the Back Cover
Access Control Systems: Security, Identity Management and Trust Models provides a thorough introduction to the foundations of programming systems security, delving into identity management, trust models, and the theory behind access control models. The book details access control mechanisms that are emerging with the latest Internet programming technologies, and explores all models employed and how they work. The latest role-based access control (RBAC) standard is also highlighted. This unique technical reference is designed for security software developers and other security professionals as a resource for setting scopes of implementations with respect to the formal models of access control systems. The book is also suitable for advanced-level students in security programming and system design.

3.0 out of 5 stars
More esoteric but less practical than needed,
By
This review is from: Access Control Systems: Security, Identity Management and Trust Models (Hardcover)
The author is gives us an academic tome rather than a practical text. A background in discrete math is needed for several chapters. The author is using a strange mix of historical references (HRU for example) and bleeding edge, yet to penetrate the market (XNS) technologies. This would be fine but virtually ignores much in the process; UNIX and Windows as minor examples.
The text is accurate in what it says and would be a good masters level text in Compute Science. It is about the only text focusing deeply on Access Control. In any classroom situation, it will need supplementing.

Incomplete and Unbalanced,
By
This review is from: Access Control Systems: Security, Identity Management and Trust Models (Kindle Edition)
Not much to say on this book except that I found it incomplete and lacking in practical processes, more studious than application oriented. I have read better books on the subject like the IAM Success Tips: Volume 1 which offers a lot more strategical information since it is more of a guide than an academic study.
