Reviews


95% obsolete
This is a 1975 edition, so only has value if you are completely new to the field. Probably good in its day.

Got textbook for class
It is an OK introduction to security. It covers many aspects. Some chapters have too many quotes. At times it seems like a student's research paper turned into a book.
It shipped much earlier than indicated. I could have used super saver shipping and got it in time and got free shipping.
