Synopses & Reviews
Access Control Systems: Security, Identity Management and Trust Models provides a reference introduction to secure identification of entities in computing, identity management and trust models; all of which are foundational elements of reliable access control mechanisms. Access Control Systems: Security, Identity Management and Trust Models overviews the foundations of programming systems security, delves into trust models, and the theory behind access control systems. This book provides a perspective to these topics in light of the emerging Internet programming technologies. Access Control Systems: Security, Identity Management and Trust Models is suitable for upper undergraduate-level and graduate-level students in computer science. It also presents a unique technical reference for security software professionals. This volume helps categorize and scope implementations with respect to the formal models of access control systems and trust models.
Review
From the reviews: "This book on access control systems centers on security, identity management, and trust models. ... The book includes adequate references and a handy index. ... The coverage of topics in the book is satisfactory. The book will be useful for those who wish to go deep into mechanisms for access control. It may be used for advanced courses in information security. Practitioners and university students are likely to benefit from reading it. I recommend this book as a useful reference for access control." (S. V. Nagaraj, Computing Reviews, December, 2006)
Synopsis
