This authoritative Guide to Computer Network Security explores computer network infrastructures and protocol design security flaws, and discusses current security solutions and best practices in both fixed and mobile computer networks. The book broadly surveys thought-provoking security issues, discussing and raising questions about the impact of new technologies and protocols (with particular emphasis on the rapid growth and skyrocketing interests and use in mobile technologies). It further explores the security threats and vulnerabilities in the current network infrastructure and protocols, and outlines current security efforts. The text assumes a modest familiarity with basic computer programming and networking. Features: ?

Presents an in-depth discussion of standardization, again informing the reader on current trends on the topic ? Raises awareness of the security problems in cyberspace, and more particularly, computer network security ? Discusses computer network infrastructure and protocol design flaws and vulnerabilities ? Explores the role of legislation and law enforcement in maintaining computer and computer network security ?

Alerts the reader to the daunting security problems in increasingly popular mobile network systems ? Includes two types of end-of-chapter exercises: quickly workable questions, as well as more thought-provoking advanced exercises ? Devotes one complete chapter to lab exercises: weekly, semester assignments and hard open-research projects ? Endeavours to use open source software tools throughout ? Provides support materials for lecturers and students such as PowerPoint slides, syllabus suggestions, solutions, instructor manual and student laboratory materials This text/reference is an invaluable instructional and research tool for undergraduates in computer and information security. It is also a rich resource for practitioners, and professionals looking to gain an understanding of computer network infrastructure and information network security.
