Book description
A systematic guide to the technologies, standards, protocols, and means used for the transparent security of information interaction in computer networks, this resource enables an independent understanding of the various methods of providing computer and information security when using modern network technology. The basic features of both Web technologies and the distributed information processing technologies connected with them that are based on mobile programs are described, as are the network technologies that influence security. Also covered are the methods of attacking computer networks and practical guidelines for protecting a virtual network.

Review:
Chapter one is a good introduction to the basics of intrusion detection, although it is odd that the list of detection methods is missing some important entries, such as heuristic rule-based and statistical methods. The background overview of Snort, in chapter two, describes alerts, related applications, and even has recommendations for sensor net architecture. Most of the content in regard to the components of Snort, in chapter three, deals with the preprocessors, and various attack signatures. Chapter four's advice about planning for the installation of Snort is broadly based, addressing policy, architecture, and even incident response, but the material is quite abstract, and could have benefitted from more practical examples. Some o... Rest of this review on the detail page

Book description
The primary goal of this book is to present the salient aspects of antenna principles and technology and relate these to wireless communications applications. It is written from a unique perspective, containing a mix of topics - theory, design and applications of outdoor and indoor antennas adopted in modern wireless communication systems. The authors cover the descriptions of these antennas along with the underlying principles and present the associated design perspectives based on relevant electromagnetic theory and radiation mechanisms. The scope of the book includes industry-oriented research, design and development aspects of wireless antennas. It is also suitable as a course text for students at post- and undergraduate levels.

Book description
Most applications these days are at least somewhat network aware, but how do you protect those applications against common network security threats? Many developers are turning to OpenSSL, an open source version of SSL/TLS, which is the most widely used protocol for secure network communications. The OpenSSL library is seeing widespread adoption for web sites that require cryptographic functions to protect a broad range of sensitive information, such as credit card numbers and other financial transactions. The library is the only free, full-featured SSL implementation for C and C++, and it can be used programmatically or from the command line to secure most TCP-based network protocols. Network Security with OpenSSL enables developers to use... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Suitable for students, working network engineers, and (to some degree) salespeople responsible for promoting network services, An Engineering Approach to Computer Networking: ATM Networks, the Internet, and the Telephone Network explains how voice and data networks operate. Author Srinivsan Keshav does a great job of explaining how various systems--especially Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks, Internet Protocol (IP) networks, and switched voice networks--communicate signals from one point to another. He notes similarities and differences among the systems' approaches to the problem of telecommunications and highlights the challenges inherent in integrating them. If you're involved in building a large network, particularly if you'll ... Rest of this review on the detail page
