About the Book

The first quick reference guide to the do's and don'ts of creating high quality security systems. Ross Anderson, widely recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on security engineering, presents a comprehensive design tutorial that covers a wide range of applications. Designed for today's programmers who need to build systems that withstand malice as well as error (but have no time to go do a PhD in security), this book illustrates basic concepts through many real-world system design successes and failures. Topics range from firewalls, through phone phreaking and copyright protection, to frauds against e-businesses. Anderson's book shows how to use a wide range of tools, from cryptology through smartcards to applied psychology. As everything from burglar alarms through heart monitors to bus ticket dispensers starts talking IP, the techniques taught in this book will become vital to everyone who wants to build systems that are secure, dependable and manageable.

About the Author :
ROSS ANDERSON teaches and directs research in computer security at Cambridge University, England. Widely recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on security engineering, he has published extensive studies on how real security systems fail-on bank card fraud, phone phreaking, pay-TV hacking, ways to cheat metering systems and breaches of medical privacy.

Review :
"While many of the chapter topics may sound unexciting, Anderson has a wonderful writing style and at times reads almost like a Tom Clancy thriller with its details of military command and control systems and other similar topics. Anyone responsible for information security should read Security Engineering." (UnixReview.com, July 2001) "an eminently readable yet comprehensive book" (Network News, 12 September 2001)
