Fundamentals of Computer Security Technology

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.Amoroso, Edward is the author of 'Fundamentals of Computer Security Technology' with ISBN 9780131089297 and ISBN 0131089293.
