商品描述
Everyone needs security: Nations need national security, corporations need corporate security, individuals need personal security, cybersecurity, AI security. What is the common denominator of these security concepts?
Security and science are the building blocks of the modern civilization. Science gave us the powers to change the world. Security should protect us from abuses of those powers. Yet humans have been hesitant to apply the methods of science to the problems of security. This core security-science (SecSci) textbook is a step in that direction.
While many students pursue security out of genuine interest, most security curricula are plastered with industry buzzwords and policy slogans, driven by market incentives and government funding. The result is the attackers get richer, and their victims get poorer--while security experts inhabit the realm of informal narratives in-between. Before joining the fray, some students want to understand it. This textbook arose from the authors' efforts to cater to such students by peeling off the veils of expertise and replacing them with explanations and simple mathematical models.
Topics, goals and features:
- Understand the basic ideas behind the main security concepts and beyond the buzzwords
- Cybersecurity and computer security are not as different from physical security and national security as they make you think.
- Physical space is described by its geometry, but what is the geometry of cyberspace?
- Different programming languages and different network and computer architectures require different security tools. Learn the security methods independent on the differences.
- Privacy is not a security requirement but the right to be left alone.
- The more I trust you, the less security and privacy I need from you. But why do I trust you?
This uniquely informative textbook provides supporting materials for undergraduate and graduate courses on security, privacy, and trust. The early chapters introduce the basic concepts at the beginner level. The later chapters require some technical confidence and intellectual maturity. The book can also be used as an entry point into SecSci research.
The authors are professors at the Department of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
每個人都需要安全：國家需要國家安全，企業需要企業安全，個人需要個人安全、網路安全、人工智慧安全。這些安全概念的共同基礎是什麼？
安全與科學是現代文明的基石。科學賦予我們改變世界的能力，而安全應該保護我們免受這些能力的濫用。然而，人類對於將科學方法應用於安全問題上一直持謹慎態度。本書是朝這個方向邁出的一步，這本核心的安全科學（SecSci）教科書旨在填補這一空白。
雖然許多學生出於真正的興趣追求安全，但大多數安全課程充斥著行業流行語和政策口號，這些都是由市場激勵和政府資金驅動的。結果是攻擊者變得更富有，而他們的受害者則變得更貧窮——而安全專家則處於這兩者之間的非正式敘事領域。在參與這場鬥爭之前，一些學生希望能夠理解它。本教科書的產生正是基於作者的努力，旨在為這些學生揭開專業知識的面紗，並用解釋和簡單的數學模型取而代之。
主題、目標和特點：
- 理解主要安全概念背後的基本思想，而不僅僅是流行語
- 網路安全和計算機安全與物理安全和國家安全並不像你想的那樣不同
- 物理空間由其幾何形狀描述，但網路空間的幾何形狀是什麼？
- 不同的程式語言和不同的網路及計算機架構需要不同的安全工具。學習獨立於這些差異的安全方法
- 隱私不是安全要求，而是被獨處的權利
- 我越信任你，我對你的安全和隱私需求就越少。但我為什麼會信任你？
這本獨特且資訊豐富的教科書為本科生和研究生的安全、隱私和信任課程提供了支持材料。早期章節介紹了初學者層級的基本概念，而後面的章節則需要一定的技術信心和智力成熟度。本書也可以作為進入安全科學研究的入門點。
作者是夏威夷大學馬諾阿校區資訊與計算機科學系的教授。
作者簡介
Dusko Pavlovic was born in Sarajevo, studied mathematics and programming in Utrecht, taught at McGill, Imperial College London, Oxford, and Royal Holloway, before joining University of Hawaii in 2014. In the meantime, he also spent 12 years talking about applications in Palo Alto CA. His research evolved from pure mathematics, through theoretical computer science and software engineering, to network computation and security, with excursions into quantum computation and game theory. He authored more than 100 articles, 2 books, and a play, so far. In his ample spare time he enjoys providing strategic advice to his 3 children and writing about himself in third person.
