Features: The key to establishing a successful undergraduate program in information security lies in having high-quality teaching materials. Due to various reasons, the history of establishing undergraduate programs in information security in China is very short, and it is still in its early stages. However, there are now a large number of higher education institutions offering such programs in various forms, with a considerable number of students enrolled. Most of these students have completed their foundational courses and are about to enter the stage of specialized studies. The Information Security Center at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications is a key laboratory specializing in teaching, research, and technology transfer in the field of information security. This laboratory has trained China's first batch of cryptography Ph.D.s and has established a postdoctoral, doctoral, master's, and undergraduate training system in the fields of "information security" and "cryptography," having produced hundreds of information security graduate students. As one of the series of textbooks on information security, this book comprehensively and systematically introduces the core technologies of network security, which is one of the main components of information security, and its applications in e-commerce. The content of the book is divided into three parts: Part 1 (Chapters 1-2) provides a detailed analysis of network systems after briefly introducing the internet system; Part 2 (Chapters 3-7) focuses on the analysis of mainstream network security technologies, covering PKI, firewalls, virtual private networks, intrusion detection, and virus protection; Part 3 (Chapter 8) analyzes the application of network security technologies in e-commerce. Each chapter is followed by exercises to reinforce the knowledge. This book can be used as a textbook for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in computer science, communication, and information-related fields, as well as a reference book for researchers and technical professionals in the fields of computer science, communication, and information.
