Product Description

The Information Security Dictionary provides complete and easy to read explanations of common security and infrastructure protection terms. Special attention is given to terms that most often prevent educated readers from understanding journal articles or books in cryptography, computer security, information systems, role-based access management and applied fields that build on those disciplines. Also included in the dictionary are terms that refer to computing forensics, malware attacks, privacy issues, system design, security auditing and vulnerability testing.

This essential reference tool presents cutting-edge information on the most recent terms in use, in one concisely formatted volume. Similar to dictionaries for languages, statistics, epidemiology, and other disciplines, The Information Security Dictionary will be a valuable addition to the library of any IT professional and IT student.

The Information Security Dictionary is designed for a professional audience, composed of researchers and practitioners in industry. This dictionary is also suitable for students in computer science, engineering, and information sciences.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended as a reference book, July 28 2006

By T. Lee - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Information Security Dictionary: Defining the Terms that Define Security for E-Business, Internet, Information and Wireless Technology (Hardcover)

For a book at such price and an encompassing title, it is disappointing to see Biba Integrity Model is listed as "Bibra Integrity Model." This is just wrong.

There are no listing for Common Criteria, nor Rainbow Series, ITSEC, TCSEC. For people in the Infosec industry, these are big tag items quite hard to miss.

Do not expect to find Clark-Wilson Model, Lattice based model, oh, and if you want to know what TLS is? please see SSL, puuuffff...

My recommendation is to STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK! Stick to your good'ol browser and start with wikipedia. It would give you much more fortified knowledge in Information Security.

I brought this book to help me with basic terms in Information Technology. I haven't really had the chance to use it as much as I would like but for the price I paid for it I think it is a good buy for IT beginners.
