Introduction to Computer Security (Hardcover)

Introduction to Computer Security draws upon Bishop's widely praised Computer Security: Art and Science, without the highly complex and mathematical coverage that most undergraduate students would find difficult or unnecessary. The result: the field's most concise, accessible, and useful introduction. Matt Bishop thoroughly introduces fundamental techniques and principles for modeling and analyzing security. Readers learn how to express security requirements, translate requirements into policies, implement mechanisms that enforce policy, and ensure that policies are effective. Along the way, the author explains how failures may be exploited by attackers--and how attacks may be discovered, understood, and countered. Supplements available including slides and solutions. By removing material from the original book, Computer Security: Art and Science(0201440997, AWP), that is highly mathematical or otherwise difficult for manyreaders to understand, Matt Bishop has made his authoritative work oncomputer security art and science more accessible both for professionals newto the field and undergraduate students. The organization of the abridged bookfollows the syllabus Bishop includes in his current work for a nonmathematicalundergraduate course. It focuses more on the application of theory than thetheory itself. Readers learn quickly how to implement security.
