Information Security ^{2nd Ed.}

Since the first edition of this book was published (under the title Data and Computer Security) many significant changes have occurred in this field. Information Security reflects these developments. Important topics are covered in depth, such as:

• risk analysis
• standards
• database security
• network security
• personal computers
• key management
• viruses
• trusted systems
• authentication
• access controls

Extended essays on these and other key topics make this dictionary unique and invaluable. For the specialist reader the Dictionary covers the relevant theory and mathematics of modern data security and relates it to current developments in information technology.

The very extensive cross-referencing helps the reader understand the relationships which exists between different concepts and terms.

A very expensive book, which is not in any way complete, but you need it in the bookshelf from time to time, as some of the concepts can only be found documented here.
