This book starts by giving a technical overview of the protocol and just when authors start getting a little deep into the subject they slip onto business details which does not go too deep either. The content is not focussed at all. There are whole chapters on things like "object oriented programming" and "planning a web site" - which are hardly related to SET.

Products detailed in the book are pretty old (e.g RSA has already sold S/PAY to another company in 1998 but book still refer to it as an RSA product)

Overall the book cannot be recommended to people with technical knowledge. only somebody who is in a managerial capacity who has absolutly no knowledge of cryptography or networking and has been pushed into a project requiring SET implementation could find some use for the book.

If you are looking for in-depth focussed understanding of SET, I would recommend reading book 1 and book 2 of original SET implementaion (www.setco.org). They are long but they are the only thing that made me understand SET.

This book described SET stadand clearly. I think someone who want to know more about SET but now not very familliar with it could read this book.

if u r really interested in implementing set protocol u can go thru this book.
