Information Security : Principles and Practice Review by Richard M. Low
A very well written book!
If I had to have only one book on information security, this would be the book!
Without trying to be encyclopedic, Professor Stamp gives a panoramic view of four key areas in information security: cryptography, access control, protocols, and software. Within each of these four parts, relevant and diverse topics are discussed and studied. The breadth and depth of coverage is appropriate for both the general reader as well as for the expert.
Topics in the book include: symmetric key crypto, public key crypto, hash functions, cryptanalysis, authentication, authorization, authentication protocols, real-world security protocols, software flaws and malware, insecurity in software, operating systems and security.
The book reads well and does not have the "dry flavor", so often found in other books of this type. I recommend this book, without reservation!
