false 457138 1 In 1991, computer security was a vague subject that managers and system administrators decided, reluctantly, that they needed to know more about. Most security initiatives were based on the "Orange Book" (Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria), a US Department of Defense publication that baffled casual readers. O'Reilly's "Computer Security Basics" contained a readable introduction to the Orange Book -- why it existed, what it contained, and what the different security levels were all about. Over the past 15 years, this classic book has continued to sell steadily. Today, security is a hot topic, and international (ISO) security standards largely have replaced the Orange Book. But for those of you who need to understand the fundamentals, "Computer Security Basics" is still the best book to consult. The new edition builds on the well-established principles developed in the original edition and thoroughly updates that core knowledge. For novice security administrators, system administrators, and developers, "Computer Security Basics" offers a clear overview of the security concepts you need to know: access controls, malicious software, security policy, cryptography, biometrics, and government regulations and standards. And it does so in a way that you can easily understand, even if you aren't very familiar with security. This is the must-have book for a must-know field. 445665 13 6 2006 Computer Security Basics total:3|4:2|3:1| 3 11 8 0 0 0 false false Thu May 28 17:27:55 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 17:27:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 25 09:12:59 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 09:12:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 22 10:52:08 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 10:52:08 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Sep 20 15:11:39 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 20 15:11:39 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Nov 20 09:27:45 -0800 2008 Fri Sep 05 08:50:03 -0700 2008 Thu Nov 20 09:27:45 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Sep 01 09:32:33 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 01 09:32:33 -0700 2008 0 0 true true Sun Feb 17 05:54:18 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 17 05:54:32 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Aug 03 09:28:26 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 28 13:37:28 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 03 09:28:26 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=457138
