About this title

Synopsis:

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.
