Web Security, Privacy & Commerce

Second Edition.
Beginner - Advanced Level Users.

Electronic credit card fraud, attacks against large e-commerce and government sites, invasion of privacy by merchants as well as hackers - all these have increased public awareness of the dark side of using the Web. Understanding how to minimise and neutralise the destructive power of security threats has become a high priority for users, administrators and organisations.

This book cuts through the front-page sensationalism and examines the major issues facing e-commerce. It reveals what the real risks are and how to minimise them. Dramatically expanded from the first edition, it includes new information about PKI, privacy and e-commerce, and examines what works or doesn't work on today's Web.

This is destined to be the classic reference on Web security risks and the techniques and technologies that protect users, organisations, systems and networks.
