 Windows Server 2003 Security Infrastructures by Jan DeClerq C2004

Good stuff on PKI theory and deployment as well as smart cards.  IMHO, PKI
is something all enterprise, small, large and in-between should consider
implementing.  Windows 2003 provides the infrastructure, and smart cards
w/USB are running about $20/each these days.

Scott,

> Any good security books fellow members have read recently and would 
> like to recommend?

Bruce Schneier, "Secrets & Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World"[1]
and "Beyond Fear: Thinking Sensibly about Security in an Uncertain
World"[2].

Simson Garfinkel, Gene Spafford, Alan Schwartz, "Practical Unix & Internet
Security, 3rd Edition" and certain other O'Reilly[3] titles.

For the record, I've not read the last one recently, but am extrapolating
from the first edition.

If you want something more specific, then you should ask for it.


> There is a lot more quantity than quality now a days

"Teach Yourself Security for Dummies in 21 Days"
