Bishop, M: INTRO TO COMPUTER SECURITY - Matt Bishop - Bog

Introduction to Computer Security An excellent, beautifully written introduction to the subject of computer security--by a master teacher and practitioner. An introduction to the science and challenges of computer security, useful as either a self-teaching tool or a classroom text. Trimmed down and less expensive version of Bishop's definitive work on computer security, with more mathematical and advanced sections removed. A well-known security expert and educator, Bishop's command over the subject is tremendous. By removing material from the original book, Computer Security: Art and Science (0201440997, AWP), that is highly mathematical or otherwise difficult for many readers to understand, Matt Bishop has made his authoritative work on computer security art and science more accessible both for professionals new to the field and undergraduate students. The organization of the abridged book follows the syllabus Bishop includes in his current work for a nonmathematical undergraduate course. It focuses more on the application of theory than the theory itself. Readers learn quickly how to implement security.
