Security Bücher

• Ross Anderson, Security Engineering, John Wiley & Sons, 2001. A book on security in real world systems.
• Jonathan Katz and Yehuda Lindell, Introduction to Modern Cryptography, CRC Press, 2007.
• Niels Ferguson, Bruce Schneier, and Tadayoshi Kohno, Cryptography Engineering, Wiley, 2010.
• Mark Stamp, Information Security: Principles and Practice, John Wiley & and Sons, 2006.
• Alfred Menezes, Paul van Oorschot, Scott Vanstone, Handbook of Applied Cryptography, CRC Press, 1997. This is a very comprehensive book. You can download this book online !
• Simson Garfinkel, Gene Spafford, Web Security, Privacy & Commerce, O'Reilly, 2002. It's hard to keep up with all the security software out there. But these authors do a good job documenting it all.
• Charlie Kaufman, Radia Perlman, Mike Speciner, Network Security: Private Communication in a Public World, 2nd Edition, Prentice Hall, 2002. The authors discuss network security from a very applied approach. There is a lot of discussion about real systems, all the way down to the IETF RFCs and the on-the-wire bit representations.
• Bruce Schneier, Applied Cryptography, 2nd Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1996. This is the best book to read for an introduction to applied security and cryptography. There is much less math than the book by Menezes et al. The bibliography is very comprehensive too.
• Eric Rescorla, SSL and TLS: Designing and Building Secure Systems, Addison-Wesley, 2001. A book about the evolution, politics, and bugs in the development of SSL.
• Jakob Nielsen, Usability Engineering, Academic Press, 1993. There are a lot of non-intuitive GUIs out there for security products. Anyone making a security product for use by humans should learn about the principles of smart GUIs.
• Phillip Hallam-Baker, The dotCrime Manifesto: How to Stop Internet Crime, Addison-Wesley, 2008.
• Jonathan Katz, Yehuda Lindell, Introduction to Modern Cryptography, Chapman & Hall/CRC Press, 2007. This book contains a broad coverage of cryptography.
