Therefore, this book is suitable as a selective course textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and technology-related fields in higher education institutions. It is particularly suitable as a compulsory course textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in newly established information security programs. The book can also serve as a self-study textbook and reference for engineering and technical personnel engaged in computer and information system security. This is a textbook that focuses on teaching computer security (computer security) from a technical perspective. The book is divided into four parts: Part "Fundamentals," which introduces identification and authentication, access control, security models, and security kernels; Part "Practice," which covers Unix and Windows NT security, security issues, and security assessments; Part "Distributed Systems," which introduces distributed system security, Web site security, cryptography, and network security; and the final Part "Theory," which discusses database security, multilevel security databases, concurrency control, multilevel security, and object-oriented security.
