Read this book when I was into Networking

[Major Doug · Rating 2 out of 5]

Read 2nd Edition - must not be very good, because I couldn't find that Edition listed anywhere. I got the theory parts; don't know any coding (C, SQL), so I missed a lot of stuff I apparently need to know. Plus, I read it on the elliptical.

For someone learning about security/encryption for the first time, this book explains everything clearly and concisely. Easy to read and digest, I enjoyed this book and it complemented my Networking class very well.

Comprehensive material for network security

I used this book together with some tutorial sessions during a lecture course at JCU singapore.
The content and the additional material provided was very useful.
