Title: The Information Security Dictionary
Description: "The First Edition of the The Information Security Dictionary defines over 1200 of the most commonly used words in the security field, with particular attention to those terms used most often in forensics, malware, viruses, vulnerabilities and IPv6. A new world of words has emerged from technology's affect on the language of our modern culture. The Information Security Dictionary is a reference tool that should become part of all IT professional's and IT student's libraries, concisely formatted in one volume." "Special attention is paid to terms which most often prevent educated readers from understanding journal articles and books in cryptology, security and information systems, and computer science, in addition to applied fields that build on these disciplines, such as system design, security auditing, vulnerability testing, and role-based management. The emphasis throughout The Information Security Dictionary is on concepts, rather than implementations. Since concepts often complicate matters, readers may find a definition makes sense only after it has been illustrated by an example which the author provides in this dictionary." "The Dictionary of Information Security is designed for researchers, students, and practitioners in industry, as well as educated readers interested in the security field."--BOOK JACKET.
