Product Description
With Security in Computing Systems,Joachim Biskup introduces, surveys and assesses the fundamentals ofsecurity with respect to all activities that individuals or groupsdirectly or indirectly perform by means of computers and computernetworks.He has organized his comprehensive overview on multilateralsecurity into four cross-referencing parts: challenges and basicapproaches; fundamentals of information flow and inference control;security mechanisms with an emphasis on control and monitoring on theone hand and on cryptography on the other; and implementations. Besidespresenting informal surveys and introductions to these topics, the bookcarefully elaborates the fundamental ideas by at least partiallyexplaining the required precise formalizations and outlining theachieved mathematical verifications. Moreover, the need to employ thevarious security enforcement methods in a well-coordinated way isemphasized and thoroughly exemplified, and this includes case studieson UNIX, Oracle/SQL, CORBA, Kerberos, SPKI/SDSI and PGP.
Overall, this monograph provides a broad and comprehensivedescription of computer security threats and countermeasures, ideal forgraduate students or researchers in academia and industry who requirean introduction to the state of the art in this field. In addition, itcan be used as the basis for graduate courses on security issues incomputing.
