Beautiful Security

Although most people don''t give security much attention until their personal or business systems are attacked, this thought-provoking anthology demonstrates that digital security is not only worth thinking about, it''s also a fascinating topic.

Beautiful Security explores this challenging subject with insightful essays and analysis on topics that include:

• The underground economy for personal information: how it works, the relationships among criminals, and some of the new ways they pounce on their prey

• How social networking, cloud computing, and other popular trends help or hurt our online security

• How metrics, requirements gathering, design, and law can take security to a higher level

• The real, little-publicized history of PGP
