About
Features
- Comprehensive up-to-date survey of cryptography, authentication, and digital signatures.
Gives the students a solid yet concise overview of the fundamental algorithms and techniques underlying network security. - Integrated, comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of Internet-based security tools and applications.
This is the only book that provides this coverage. - Unified, comprehensive treatment of mutual trust topics.
Key management and user authentication are fundamental to the successful use of cryptographic services. This treatment gives the student a systematic and comprehensive understanding of the issues involved. - Excellent collection of homework problems.
Approximately 150 problems reinforce material in the text and also introduce new concepts and techniques. Problems are included at the end of each chapter. - Comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of IP Security.
IPSec is one of the most complex, and one of the most important, new network security standards. This book gives a clear and detailed technical treatment of the topic. - Comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of wireless network Security.
The student gains an understanding of the importance of this topic. C - Coverage of both PGP and S/MIME for electronic mail security.
These are the two most important approaches to email security. The book gives the student an understanding of both schemes at a detailed, technical level. - Comprehensive and unified discussion of intruders and viruses.
The threats of intruders (hackers) and viruses are distinct, but there are also similarities. By treating the two in successive chapters and in a unified way, the student gains a greater understanding of both topics. - Treatment of firewalls.
Firewalls are an integral part of any network security capability. - Unequaled support for instructors and students
The book includes 150 homework problems with a range of difficulty plus numerous review questions; the Instructor's Solutions Manual contains solutions to all problems and questions.
A Computerized Test Generator is provided.
The book makes liberal use of figures and tables to clarify concepts.
A list of key words, a recommended reading list, and recommended Web sites appear at the end of each chapter.
- A Glossary, a list of acronyms, and an up-to-date bibliography appear at the end of the book.

Intended for college courses and professional readers where the interest is primarily in the application of network security, without the need to delve deeply into cryptographic theory and principles (system engineer, programmer, system manager, network manager, product marketing personnel, system support specialist).
A practical survey of network security applications and standards, with unmatched support for instructors and students.
In this age of universal electronic connectivity, viruses and hackers, electronic eavesdropping, and electronic fraud, security is paramount. Network Security: Applications and Standards, Fifth Edition provides a practical survey of network security applications and standards, with an emphasis on applications that are widely used on the Internet and for corporate networks. An unparalleled support package for instructors and students ensures a successful teaching and learning experience.
Adapted from Cryptography and Network Security, Sixth Edition, this text covers the same topics but with a much more concise treatment of cryptography.
