Book Reviews of Network Security: Private Communication in a Public World (2nd Edition) (Radia Perlman Series in Computer Networking and Security)

Book Review: Excellent book with only two flaws: too much opinion, somewhat out-dated now
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm using this book as a self-study reference. I've been an information security officer for a number of years and felt I needed to get a firmer grasp on the mathematics of cryptography and some areas that I've mentally glossed over.

This is an excellent book. The authors have a great sense of humor that appeals to me (a computer science type). Topics are understandable though there are certain areas that I needed to read several times before fully digesting. Their coverage of the various encryption schemes, message digests/hashes, MACs, etc are all top-notch.

This book is relatively old at this point (published in 2002). Thus, some recent things are missing: this book doesn't mention *anything* about wireless security. TLS is mentioned as "coming soon." Kerberos 5 is battling for supremacy with Kerberos 4. You get the idea.

My only other complaint: way too much ripping on IKE/ISAKMP. The workings of these protocols get lost in the authors' complaints. I've studied that chapter once (taking notes) and didn't get it. I'm about to do so a second time. Failing that, I'll need to find another source for information.
