4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful encyclopedia for security, July 4, 2003
By D. M Swaney (Oxnard, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a new student to the realm of security I've been hit hard with new terminology and after a while sometimes I find it hard to rememberr what an acronym stands for or what it means.

This book makes it easy to look it up quickly for a refresher without having to flip through various books or search the internet. Great if you are a student like myself and working late at night cramming for an exam and you can't remember what PFS stands for.

This book I will keep near me at home, school, and at work because it is just a great reference book.

I gave it four stars instead of five because it would have been great if Microsoft included a CD with the book in electronic format so instead of carrying the book around I could just load it up on my computer and have quick access whenever I need it without having to remember where I left the book this time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Could have been more in depth..., January 6, 2004
By A Customer
The information given in this book is pretty basic. It is about at the level of your average MCSE or Jr SysAdmin. That is not necessarily a bad thing though. It is very easy and light reading. I actually read it from cover to cover without getting bored which is saying a lot for an encyclopedia!

2.0 out of 5 stars Good knowledge, however big mistakes and omissions., September 14, 2005
By coffee_fan (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
I changed my review - I previously gave a 3 to this book, as I had done a cursory browsing and it looked great. Lately I have been focusing on security and trying to use the book as an actual reference and found it has some big omissions and mistakes and is NOT a reference -- Which deserves a 1 -- I am however giving it a 2 because it has coverage of lots of subjects which are important.

If you are a beginner in the security area, this book may prove valuable, but be forwarned that you may be de-railed in some concepts as they are plain wrong. So far what I have found:

Notable omissions: Subject, Object, Domain (not the NT one), Capability, Protected susbsystem, TCB, Reference monitor.

Errors: RBAC, Principal, Ticket.


FWIW here goes my previous review:

Handy Reference - 3

This encyclopedia is a good "1st base" reference that gets you closer to security definitions and perspectives.

Security is a constantly moving target, so some definitions are dated or lack accuracy, which is why I say it is just the 1st base. You may need to seek your 2nd and 3rd bases of information on the internet or via updated security information sources.

Nevertheless, the book has value in that it allows me to avoid some amount of googling.
