Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Safeguarding the confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, and non-repudiation of information is paramount to organizational stability and success. This new book provides an understanding of information security, potential threats to our information, and effective countermeasures to proactively combat those threats. A comprehensive review of cryptographic techniques is presented and explained in simple mathematical terms. The text covers symmetrical and asymmetrical encryption, digital signatures, Kerberos, creation/deployment of strong keys and passwords, Virtual Private Networks, SET, SSL, SSH, IPSec, and authentication techniques. A detailed examination of Tiny Encryption Algorithm (TEA) exposes readers to the inner workings of encryption. CD-ROM experiments help solidify the learning experience. Emphasis throughout is on the application of the cryptographic methods and support structures needed to effectively apply the principles to create a secure business setting.

From the Publisher
A brand-new, up-to-date resource and textbook for both students and professionals in the InfoSec field! This very reader-friendly book includes a helpful CD-ROM as well as exercises that keep the material exciting and easy to understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for students and professionals, March 11, 2004
This text captures the importance of securing information. This text is presented in an easy to read manner that hits on what industry is doing to protect its information. The author's use of examples blows away any text I have ever read. This text serves as a great learning tool as well as a great reference.

'Information Security Intelligence' articulately and clearly discusses the major issues of Information Security. The book keeps the reader engaged with challenging and interesting labs. The author's background as a professor comes through in his ability to cleary express the complex issues surrounding Information Security. A very informative and useful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book Best Book On The Market! Great Read!!, March 2, 2004
After reading this book I must say that I am extremely impressed as of the quality of information that has been provided throughout the entire textbook. Due to myself being in the industry I will be recommending this text to customers of mine that are interested in learning more about this growing topic of Information Security Information Technology Industry. I feel that after reading and trying the exercises I am much more prepared and knowledgeable on this topic. I highly recommend this book to all who are interested. You will not find a higher quality Information Security book on the market.
