Features: Since the publication of this classic book, the application of the internet has exploded, and e-commerce has become a part of our lives and work. At the same time, the threats to our security and privacy have also increased—from credit card fraud to the continuous infringement of our privacy by merchants, from tampered websites to famous websites being attacked and forced to shut down. This book delves into the major security threats we face today. After being thoroughly revised and nearly doubling in length from the previous edition, it will continue to be the authoritative work on web security. The topics covered include:
· Web technologies—cryptography, SSL, PKI, cryptographic common sense, digital signatures, and biometrics.
· Web privacy and security for ordinary users—cookies, log files, spam, weblogs, web sniffers, personal information, identity theft, and malicious mobile code in plugins, ActiveX controls, Java applets, etc.
· Web server security for administrators and content providers—CGI, PHP, SSL certificates, P3P and privacy policies, digital payments, client signatures, code signing, PICS, intellectual property, legal issues, and more.
