"Internet and Intranet Security is an exceptional book that provides the reader with a succinct overview of network security in less than 400 pages. The author provides an authoritative treatment of network security addressing both intranet and Internet security. Oppliger manages to provide all the standards detail, with acronyms and standards numbers in full force, while presenting the material in a way that will be readable by people with only a cursory understanding of the technology and the standards bodies involved. It's hard to know where to start in terms of praising what the author has managed to put together. The book is broken down into four parts: fundamentals, access control, communications security, and discussion. The overview of the fundamentals is as good a review of the Internet technologies and terminology as this reviewer has ever seen. In conclusion, this book should be the first book that professionals purchase in this area. Further, while security professionals will not be surprised by anything that is covered, they will find the author's approach well worth reading for guidance on how to help others make sense out of this increasingly complex and dynamic area.”
