This book identifies and explains all the modern standardized methods of achieving network security in both TCP/IP and OSI environments — with a focus on inter-system, as opposed to intra-system, security functions. Part I is a technical tutorial introduction to computer network security; Part II describes security standards, protocols and techniques. Covers such topics as cryptography, authentication, access control, and non-repudiation; describes a wide range of standard security protocols and techniques, drawn from international, national, government, and Internet standards; and considers areas such as network and transport layer security, local area network security, security management, and security for applications such as electronic mail, directory services, EDI, and banking. For anyone required to design, develop, implement, market, or procure products based on specific network security standards.
Warwick Ford was born and raised in Australia, lived in Canada for 12 years, and moved to the USA in 1996. He and wife Nola generally live in the New York or Boston area in the spring and summer, and in winter they head west to the Colorado Rockies.
Warwick is a keen runner, skier, and outdoors enthusiast. Recognizing the need for good runners and walkers guide books for our cities, he and Nola started the "Fun on Foot" book series and website. The latest title in that series, "Fun on Foot in New York" helps residents, visitors, and newcomers to the New York City region get outdoors running and walking more.
