Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Tutorial in style, this volume provides a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art of the entire field of computer security. First covers the threats to computer systems (which motivate the field of computer security); then discusses all the models, techniques, and mechanisms designed to thwart those threats as well as known methods for exploiting vulnerabilities; and closes with an exploration of security evaluation of computer systems--the science and art that attempts to grade a particular implementation of computer security. For engineers and scientists interested in computer security.

Synopsis:

A survey of the entire field of computer security. The work covers: threat organization, derivation and basic strategy; security model concepts, various components and details of the most familiar components; safeguard and counter-measure approaches; network and database security; and evaluation.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 357-387) and index.
