Security Concepts

This is a book about computer, network, technical, physical, information and cryptographic security, illustrated with interesting and entertaining examples. It is not intended to be an introductory text, although a beginner could gain something from it.

It provides the most current and complete reference on computer security available in one volume. The book offers deep coverage of an extremely wide range of issues in computer and cybersecurity theory, applications, and best practices, offering the latest insights into established and emerging technologies and advancements.

For each security principle, the book uses a series of hands-on activities to help explain the principle; readers can "touch", play with, and experiment with the principle, instead of just reading about it.
