RELEASE NOTES


[Product Information]


Contemporary societies have increasing dependence on computers and
computer networks, and the increasing popularity of mobile
computing, have given rise to numerous computer security problems.
Yet despite a high proliferation of expert remedies, a viable and
comprehensive solution to these security issues remains elusive,
and society continues to suffer at the hands of cyber criminals,
vandals and hackers.
This authoritative Guide to Computer Network Security explores
computer network infrastructures and protocol design security
flaws, and discusses current security solutions and best practices
in both fixed and mobile computer networks. The book broadly
surveys thought-provoking security issues, discussing and raising
questions about the impact of new technologies and protocols (with
particular emphasis on the rapid growth and skyrocketing interests
and use in mobile technologies). It further explores the security
threats and vulnerabilities in the current network infrastructure
and protocols, and outlines current security efforts. The text
assumes a modest familiarity with basic computer programming and
networking.
Features:
• Covers the very core of network security, and includes
chapters about the very latest in ‘handling
disasters’ and ‘security in mobile network
systems’
• Presents an in-depth discussion of standardization, again
informing the reader on current trends on the topic
• Raises awareness of the security problems in cyberspace,
and more particularly, computer network security
• Discusses computer network infrastructure and protocol
design flaws and vulnerabilities
• Explores the role of legislation and law enforcement in
maintaining computer and computer network security
• Proposes efficient and widely acceptable solutions and
best practices to security problems, and encourages readers to
investigate other possible solutions
• Alerts the reader to the daunting security problems in
increasingly popular mobile network systems
• Includes two types of end-of-chapter exercises: quickly
workable questions, as well as more thought-provoking advanced
exercises
• Devotes one complete chapter to lab exercises: weekly,
semester assignments and hard open-research projects
• Endeavours to use open source software tools throughout
• Provides support materials for lecturers and students such
as PowerPoint slides, syllabus suggestions, solutions, instructor
manual and student laboratory materials
This text/reference is an invaluable instructional and research
tool for undergraduates in computer and information security. It is
also a rich resource for practitioners, and professionals looking
to gain an understanding of computer network infrastructure and
information network security.
Dr Joseph Migga Kizza has also written Computer Network Security
and Ethical and Social Issues in the Information Age.
