Book Description

ISBN-10: 0849308224 | ISBN-13: 978-0849308222 | Publication Date: May 11, 2004 | Edition: 1

With the recent Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, public key cryptography, digital signatures, and digital certificates are finally emerging as a ubiquitous part of the Information Technology landscape. Although these technologies have been around for over twenty years, this legislative move will surely boost e-commerce activity. Secure electronic business transactions, such as contracts, legal documents, insurance, and bank loans are now legally recognized. In order to adjust to the realities of the marketplace, other services may be needed, such as a non-repudiation service, digital notary, or digital time-stamping service. The collection of these components, known as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), is paving the way for secure communications within organizations and on the public Internet.

1.0 out of 5 stars Watch out! All the five star reviews about this book look dubious to me, September 3, 2011

K. Graefensteiner "Tellingmachine" (Mission Viejo, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Public Key Infrastructure: Building Trusted Applications and Web Services (Hardcover)

All the reviews say basically the same thing: The book is a must buy. They all start with the authors name in the first sentence. They don't really say anything about the book's content in detail. Also, most of the reviews have been submitted within a couple of days. Before and after were hardly any reviews. It looks fishy to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for IT Security Professionals, July 13, 2004

Dennis Pleticha (Boca Raton, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Public Key Infrastructure: Building Trusted Applications and Web Services (Hardcover)

This book covers the entire spectrum of PKI technology with an emphasis on the pratical aspects of design,implementation and use. As an IT security professional, I have found this book to be extremely useful in my job as we must constantly be on guard and make use of the latest technology to stay one step ahead of the multitude of security threats we face on a day-to-day basis.

Michael O. Mercer (Winston-Salem, NC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Public Key Infrastructure: Building Trusted Applications and Web Services (Hardcover)

To successfully transact business on the worldwide web, a secure network is essential. John Vacca's book explores public key infrastructures (PKIs)as a technology to provide that security. This book would be a good resource for anyone responsible for maintaining network security in big business or small.
