Book Reviews of Network Security Essentials: Applications and Standards (3rd Edition)
Book Review: Hard to believe this book is by Stallings
Summary: 3 Stars
I had to use this book for my Network Security class at grad level. Bits and pieces here and there do not help anyone who wants to learn the details of NW Security; but this book is what it is. I have used several Stallings' books and they are, at least in most cases, detail oriented and some of the best in the market. It is even harder for me to comprehend that Cryptography and NW Security Management are covered in the book in just 21 pages and 11 pages consecutively (but divided by other names later in the book with no tangible useage). See, if you want to learn Network Security, especially if you are employed in the area, I don't think you would appreciate just 21 pages of coverage of Cryptography. Not getting anything new in a chapter like that would be just too lame for you. Yes, the book refers to Applications and Standards in the subtitle but without implementation techniques and not a string of code that you usually find in your professional magazine subscription (from a programmer's perspective).
However, if you are interested in Cryptography types or the strength of Symmetric Algorithm, DES or RC5 or Blowfish or DES or triple DES (3DES); go ahead and read it. After all it is by Stallings. You also will find some tricks on Message Authentication without Message Encryption. Humm...? Anyhow, if you are a programmer and want to program some SecIS or SecSDLS, this is not for you. My professor's recommendation of this book even made me question my capable instructor. The good thing in the class? My professor had to develop his own lecture for each class...it was much better!!! I hope this helps and Good luck!
