Free eBook: Security Concepts

Free eBook: Security Concepts

This is a free book about computer, network, technical, physical, information and cryptographic security. You can download it as a pdf file or read it online.

Book Description

I wrote this paper to try and examine the typical problems in computer security and related areas, and attempt to extract from them principles for defending systems. To this end I attempt to synthesize various fields of knowledge, including computer security, network security, cryptology, and intelligence. I also attempt to extract the principles and implicit assumptions behind cryptography and the protection of classified information, as obtained through reverse-engineering (that is, informed speculation based on existing regulations and stuff I read in books), where they are relevant to technological security.
