Editorials
From the Publisher
R1: Tom Karygiannis/Senior Research Scientist, NIST"The author has assembled an excellent team of chapter authors. Each chapter is devoted to a particular topic. It seems that each chapter would serve as a good primer for the topic, but someone interested in that specific topic would have to buy books dedicated to that specific topic to round out their knowledge on the subject.... The best and possibly the widest audience is professionals that are not computer security experts and are looking for a primer on various computer security topics....[Author is] very well known, and one of the major strengths of the proposal."
R2-- David Harley, Independent Security Author (Syngress, etc.) and Consultant/UK:
"Its main strengths are the authoring experience of its editor, and the fact that it calls upon a wide range of authors to address a wide range of topics that might well appeal to those in need of a comprehensive but fairly general resource. Its weaknesses are that the proposal has a few gaps in coverage addressed above."
