Book description
The Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol, IPsec, is already defining the way organizations and individuals secure their networks. There is no single document that describes IPsec, but rather an entire body of work, the Requests for Comments (RFC's). This book compiles and organizes these important documents in a single printed volume, and adds a glossary and extensive index. This means you no longer have to wade through countless RFC's trying to find the answer to your IPsec question - all solutions are compiled in a single book, with an index that makes them even easier to locate. Every RFC describing an aspect of the IPsec standard is included here, as are descriptions of most of the cryptographic algorithms used in IPsec. If ... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
This work is an overview of many high speed telecommunications technologies, particularly in regard to "to the curb" situations. Because of the breadth of coverage, it is hard to define or determine a specific area of topic of primary emphasis. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996

The book is marvelously comprehensive, touching on aspects of IRC technology (such as IRC assistance for vision-impaired people and IRC clients for the Amiga computer) that have to do with only sma...

Review:
In the vast and varied universe of computer books, only a few stand out as the best in their subject areas. Building Internet Firewalls is one of those. It's deep, yet carefully focused, so that almost anything you might want to know about firewall strategies for protecting networks is here. In addition, there's lots of information on the reasons that we build firewalls in the first place, which is to say the security risks that come with Internet connectivity. You'll learn a great deal about Internet services and the protocols that provide them as you follow this book's recommendations for stifling attacks. If there's a shortcoming to this book, it's its lack of coverage of the turnkey firewall products that are becoming popular among hom... Rest of this review on the detail page
