Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems

Rating:
Summary: A good book for people who want to develop a secure system
Review: Usually, Cryptography books always talk about mathematics which are the important base of cryptography. A lot of technical people who are not really interested in the mathematics detail won't like these kind of books. This book present Computer Security and Cryptography in a different view. The reader can understand the security without even realizing the underlying matematics behind that. This is the case that is usually needed by a Security Engineer. As the title suggested, this book is a perfect book for people who don't really care about the detail, but they are really care about the security of the system. The book gives a broad overview, from security of a single computer, network up to telecommunication related (even with 3G telecommunication system). This is a compact book that covers nearly all the applications needed today. A must have for a practical person who cares about security. If you are looking for a theretical book which covers a lot of things in depth, maybe this book is not really suitable for you. However, if you want to know security as a beginner, then this book is also perfect for you.
