A compilation of articles published by Bruce Schneier from 2002 through the summer of 2008. October 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Being a fan of Bruce Schneier's other books, I looked forward to his latest work "Schneier On Security", and certainly was not disappointed, although I found that I had read some sections of the book previously.
"Schneier On Security" consist of a compilation of articles published by Mr. Schneier from 2002 through the summer of 2008.
If you regularly read Crypto-Gram and Wired Magazine you will be familiar with some sections of this book. Articles published in other magazines and newspapers, and reprinted in this book, I had not previously read and enjoyed the opportunity to read them now.
As with all of Mr. Schneier's writings, the articles in the book are thought provoking yet at the same time easy to read.
The book is divided into 12 chapters, followed by a large list of web-sites providing additional information and references.
The chapters are:
Introduction
1 - Terrorism and Security
2 - National Security Policy
3 - Airline Travel
4 - Privacy and Surveillance
5 - ID Cards and Security
6 - Election Security
7 - Security and Disasters
8 - Economics of Security
9 - Psychology of Security
10 - Business of Security
11 - Cybercrime and Cyberwar
12 - Computer and Information Security
References
Index
Each chapter consists of a few previously published articles related to the chapter topic.
Well written, thought provoking, and an opportunity to get several of Mr. Schneier's articles collected into a single volume.
Highly Recommended.
