SynopsisIn this authoritative book, widely respected practitioner and teacher Matt Bishop presents a clear and useful introduction to the art and science of information security. Bishop's insights and realistic examples will help any practitioner or student understand the crucial links between security theory and the day-to-day security challenges of IT environments.Bishop explains the fundamentals of security: the different types of widely used policies, the mechanisms that implement these policies, the principles underlying both policies and mechanisms, and how attackers can subvert these tools--as well as how to defend against attackers. A practicum demonstrates how to apply these ideas and mechanisms to a realistic company.Coverage includesConfidentiality, integrity, and availabilityOperational issues, cost-benefit and risk analyses, legal and human factorsPlanning and implementing effective access controlDefining security, confidentiality, and integrity policiesUsing cryptography and public-key systems, and recognizing their limitsUnderstanding and using authentication: from passwords to biometricsSecurity design principles: least-privilege, fail-safe defaults, open design, economy of making it more accessible for professionals and students who have a less formal mathematical background, or for readers with a more practical than theoretical interest., In this authoritative book, widely respected practitioner and teacher Matt Bishop presents a clear and useful introduction to the art and science of information security.

This shorter version of the original work omits much mathematical formalism, making it more accessible for professionals and students who have a less formal mathematical background, or for readers with a more practical than theoretical interest., 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.
