Reviews
“The book offers relevant definitions in the field of security and computer networks … . The book is definitively addressed to the general nonspecialist public; practitioners may be able to consult it for some definitions. … It is, in my view, important to emphasize that all of the topics are covered in a merely definitional, descriptive way.” (Carla Sánchez Aguilar, Computing Reviews, April, 2016)
“The book contains exercises and advanced exercises, along with relevant references, and comes with support materials for instructors … making it useful for teaching courses on computer security. … The exercises and projects are helpful for teaching. … I believe the third edition will continue to receive praise from students, researchers, and practitioners. I strongly recommend it.” (S. V. Nagaraj, Computing Reviews, August, 2015)
