Guides Students in Understanding the Interactions between Computing/Networking Technologies and Security Issues

Taking an interactive, "learn-by-doing" approach to teaching, Introduction to Computer and Network Security: Navigating Shades of Gray gives you a clear course to teach the technical issues related to security. Unlike most computer security books, which concentrate on software design and implementation, cryptographic tools, or networking issues, this text also explores how the interactions between hardware, software, and users affect system security.

The book presents basic principles and concepts, along with examples of current threats to illustrate how the principles can either enable or neutralize exploits. Students see the importance of these concepts in existing and future technologies. In a challenging yet enjoyable way, they learn about a variety of technical topics, including current security exploits, technical factors that enable attacks, and economic and social factors that determine the security of future systems.

Extensively classroom-tested, the material is structured around a set of challenging projects. Through staging exploits and choosing countermeasures to neutralize the attacks in the projects, students learn:

  • How computer systems and networks operate
  • How to reverse-engineer processes
  • How to use systems in ways that were never foreseen (or supported) by the original developers

Combining hands-on work with technical overviews, this text helps you integrate security analysis into your technical computing curriculum. It will educate your students on security issues, such as side-channel attacks, and deepen their understanding of how computers and networks work.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

引導學生了解計算機/網絡技術與安全問題之間的互動

以互動式的「學以致用」方法教學,《計算機與網絡安全導論:探索灰色地帶》為您提供了一條清晰的課程,以教授與安全相關的技術問題。與大多數專注於軟件設計和實施、加密工具或網絡問題的計算機安全書籍不同,本書還探討了硬件、軟件和用戶之間的互動如何影響系統安全。

本書介紹了基本原理和概念,並通過當前的威脅示例來說明這些原則如何使攻擊得以實現或被中和。學生們可以看到這些概念在現有和未來技術中的重要性。通過具有挑戰性但又有趣的方式,他們將學習各種技術主題,包括當前的安全漏洞、促使攻擊成功的技術因素,以及決定未來系統安全性的經濟和社會因素。

經過廣泛的課堂測試,本教材結構設計了一系列具有挑戰性的項目。通過在項目中模擬攻擊並選擇對策來中和攻擊,學生們將學習:

- 電腦系統和網絡的運作原理
- 如何逆向工程過程
- 如何以原始開發者未曾預見(或支持)的方式使用系統

本書結合實踐操作和技術概述,幫助您將安全分析融入技術計算課程中。它將教育您的學生有關安全問題(例如側信道攻擊),並加深他們對計算機和網絡運作原理的理解。
