National Information Systems Security 95 18th Proceedings

Held October 10-13, 1995. Addresses a wide range of interests from technical research and development projects to user oriented management and administration topics. Focuses on developing and implementing secure networks, technologies, applications, and policies. Papers and panel discussions address a broad spectrum of network security subjects including: security architecture, internet security, firewalls, multilevel security products and security management.

Security for Software Engineers is designed to introduce security concepts to undergraduate software engineering students. The book is divided into four units, each targeting activities that a software engineer will likely be involved in within industry. The book explores the key areas of attack vectors, code hardening, privacy, and social engineering. Each topic is explored from a theoretical and a practical-application standpoint. Features: Targets software engineering students - one of the only security texts to target this audience. Focuses on the white-hat side of the security equation rather than the black-hat side. Includes many practical and real-world examples that easily translate into the workplace. Covers a one-semester undergraduate course. Describes all aspects of computer security as it pertains to the job of a software engineer and presents problems similar to that which an engineer will encounter in the industry. This text will equip students to make knowledgeable security decisions, be productive members of a security review team, and write code that protects a user’s information assets.

This book presents a state-of-the-art review of current perspectives in information systems security in view of the information society of the 21st century. It will be essential reading for information technology security specialists, computer professionals, EDP managers, EDP auditors, managers, researchers and students working on the subject.

The current IT environment deals with novel, complex approaches such as information privacy, trust, digital forensics, management, and human aspects. This volume includes papers offering research contributions that focus both on access control in complex environments as well as other aspects of computer security and privacy.

The management of services and operations in today’s organizations are - coming increasingly dependent on their enterprise local area network (enterprise LAN). An enterprise LAN consists of a set of network zones (logical group of networkelements)correspondingto di?erent departments orsections,connected through various interface switches (typically, Layer-3 switches). The network service accesses between these zones and also with the external network (e. g. , Internet) are governed by a global network security policy of the organization. This global policy is de?ned as a collection of service access rules across various network zones where the services referred network applications conforming to TCP/IP protocol. For example, some of the known network services aressh, t- net,http etc. In reality, the security policy may be incompletely speci?ed; which explicitly states the “permit” and “deny” access rules between speci?c network zones keeping remaining service access paths as unspeci?ed. The global security policy is realized in the network by con?guring the n- work interfaces with appropriate sets of access control rules (ACLs). One of the major challenges in network security management is ensuring the conformation of the distributed security implementations with the global security policy.
