CS-4920 Information Security

Textbooks

Network Security: Private Communication in a Public World, Second Edition, by Charlie Kaufman, Radia Perlman, and Mike Speciner, ISBN 0130460192, Prentice Hall, 2002.
2nd book for daily discussion, perhaps Schneier, see Additional readings below. If you're planning to take this class and have a suggestion for a 2nd book, please let me know as I will be making the final choice in winter 2009-10. This should not be a textbook, but a novel, collection of articles, etc., in the 200-400 page range. The 2nd book should provide timely perspectives on security, either exploring a key issue in depth (e.g., implantable RFID) or surveying a wide range of topics (e.g., Schneier 2008).
