4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on Internet Security, March 5, 2000
By A Customer
It covers security technology and privacy law, also how consumers can use free security software to protect their business secrets.

The book discussed warnings by cyber rights advocates about the threat of Big Brother government and corporations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Introduction book on the topic., March 2, 2000
By Della Sanchez (Sacramento) - See all my reviews
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Primer on Encryption, January 27, 2000
Excellent Primer on Encryption, also digital signatures.

Easy to read, with lots of charts and illustrations.

The information on PGP was particularly helpfull.

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.
