"there's plent of food for thought" (M2 Communications, 16 May 2001)Advance Praise for Security and Privacy for E-Business "This book is essential reading for everyone interested in jumping on the e-business bandwagon without getting run over in the process."--Peter G. Neumann Principal Scientist, Computer Science Lab, SRI International Moderator of the ACM Risks Forum Author of Computer-Related Risks

"Makes a difficult topic very approachable for IT managers and decision makers who want to secure their systems, but do not want to get doctorates in cryptography." --Ravi Ganesan CEO, SingleSignon.Net

"A helpful and interesting book for both the computer novice and the experienced Internet executive in the new Internet policy world. This book is also for anyone who needs to understand that designing secure and private e-commerce systems is an ongoing, continual exercise in mitigating potential vulnerabilities, particularly in today's ever-increasingly mobile wired world."--Tatiana Gau AOL Integrity Assurance, America Online, Inc.

"Anup Ghosh distills the essential features of good security and privacy and vividly demonstrates just how infrequent they are on the Internet. Lending a needed historical perspective to a topic that now attracts Web site headlines, Ghosh's important new book speaks to both technical experts and neophytes who want to protect themselves on the Web. In a funny and non-paranoid way, he walks us through several recent hacker attacks and encourages all of us in our technology-savvy society to take security and privacy more seriously."--Drew Clark Senior Writer National Journal's Technology Daily

"The global e-business wave continues to spark passionate debate about important personal and consumer-rights issues, such as Internet security and individual privacy. As organizations and individuals become increasingly connected through various networks in the coming decades, clearly the need for more intelligent safeguards--at both the organizational as well as consumer levels--has never been more apparent. Security and Privacy for E-Business offers its audience a front-row seat allowing a view into the realities and dangers that exist in today's universal electronic marketplace."--Richard Dean Internet Security Professional
