5.0 out of 5 stars Best Introduction book on the topic., March 2, 2000

Della Sanchez (Sacramento) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Introduction to Internet Security: From Basics to Beyond (Prima Online) (Paperback)

This book is easy to read, filled with interesting background, and filled with helpful diagrams.

I read it two times. The first to get a grasp of the rather complex technologies. The second, to get an appreciation for the culture surrounding hackers, viruses, and the industry that seeks to stop them.

It helped me get a promotion, and I'm not computer literate. Two thumbs up!

2.0 out of 5 stars for absolute beginner only.
Nowhere in the book does the author go beyond the basics. There are a lot of discussions on US Government encryption policies.
