The world's #1 book on network and Internet security has been thoroughly updated to reflect today's latest threats, techniques, and technologies. The long-awaited Network Security, Second Edition brings together definitive, accessible, even entertaining explanations of every key facet of information security. The authors begin by reviewing the challenges of network security, and introducing basic concepts such as authorization and the "military model" of security. They present an easy-to-understand introduction to cryptography, including secret and public keys, hashes, and message digests. A detailed section on authentication addresses the challenge of proving identity across the network; handshakes; and common attacks that must be addressed in designing authentication systems. The authors address core Internet security standards including Kerberos 4/5, PKI, IPSec, and SSL; as well as e-mail security via PEM, S/MIME, and PGP. They offer practical introductions to the Web security issues associated with URLs, HTTP, HTML, and cookies; concluding with overviews of security in environments ranging from Windows to NetWare.

Updates

Errata

Page 67. "Why permute" box: Ignore the second paragraph. The initial permutation of decryption is the same as the initial permutation of encryption.
Page 83. Fig 3-23: subscripts R and B should be r and b.
Page 113. Third paragraph of 4.4.1.3: Ignore the rest of the paragraph starting at "Another reason to do EDE..." since the initial permutation of decryption is the same as the initial permutation of encryption.
Page 115. Homework Problem 7: the parenthetical remark is wrong, so the problem is probably not worth doing.
Page 170 (6.4.4): EFF98 should be ELGA85.
Page 201. Last two lines (8.4.1): property B should be property C while property C should be property D.
Page 211. Homework Problem 7: right hand side should have a and b instead of b and c.
Page 272. (11.3.3, last line of 1): "steals Alice's private key" should be "steals Bob's private key".
Page 310 (13.4.1): first paragraph: "the KDC returns the credentials to the KDC" should be "the KDC returns the credentials to the workstation"
Page 547. In the picture, the line "MIC (message digest signed with Bob's private key)" should instead be "MIC (message digest signed with Alice's private key)".
Page 649. (25.6.6): FORD94 should be FU01.
