Introduction to Computer Security draws upon Bishop's widely praised Computer Security: Art and Science, without
the highly complex and mathematical coverage that most undergraduate students would find difficult or unnecessary.
The result: the field's most concise, accessible, and useful introduction.
Matt Bishop thoroughly introduces fundamental techniques and principles for modeling and analyzing security. Readers
learn how to express security requirements, translate requirements into policies, implement mechanisms that enforce
policy, and ensure that policies are effective. Along the way, the author explains how failures may be exploited
by attackers--and how attacks may be discovered, understood, and countered. Supplements available including slides
and solutions.
