Shows how little control people actually have over their personal information, and why American's should fight to regain that control.
Developing Trust: Online Privacy and Security
Although the harrowing number of Internet-based attacks in recent years has elevated the importance of maintaining secure electronic networks, many developers continue to employ passive security administration strategies, addressing issues by using patches in a non-systematic fashion. This counterproductive strategy can be largely attributed to a lack of knowledge regarding the general concepts required to effectively prevent the attack and potential compromise of networked systems.
Cryptography for Internet & Database Applications
Cryptography is the gold standard for security. It is used to protect the transmission and storage of data between two parties by encrypting it into an unreadable format. Cryptography has enabled the first wave of secure transmissions, which has helped fuel the growth of transactions like shopping, banking, and finance over the world’s biggest public network, the Internet. Many Internet applications such as e-mail, databases, and browsers store a tremendous amount of personal and financial information, but frequently the data is left unprotected. Traditional network security is frequently less effective at preventing hackers from accessing this data. For instance, once- private databases are now completely exposed on the Internet. It turns out that getting to the database that holds millions of credit card numbers—the transmission—is secure through the use of cryptography, but the database itself isn’t, fueling the rise of credit card information theft.
Wireless Security Essentials: Defending Mobile Systems from Data Piracy
Vines offers a thorough examination of the fundamental concepts of security and basic computing technology. He first provides the necessary background on wireless and cellular technologies, then discusses the wide range of security methodologies and how to apply them to the wireless world.
The Transparent Society: Will Technology Force Us to Choose Between Privacy and Freedom?
In The Transparent Society, award-winning author David Brin details the startling argument that privacy, far from being a right, hampers the real foundation of a civil society: accountability. Using examples as disparate as security cameras in Scotland and Gay Pride events in Tucson, Brin shows that openness is far more liberating than secrecy and advocates for a society in which everyone (not just the government and not just the rich) could look over everyone else's shoulders. The biggest threat to our society, he warns, is that surveillance technology will be used by too few people not by too many.

The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on renewability, fuzzy hashing, cryptographic techniques and fingerprinting, privacy and architectures, software tamper resistance, cryptanalysis, and economic and legal aspects.
Making It Personal: How to Profit from Personalization without Invading Privacy
In Making It Personal, business and technology expert Bruce Kasanoff explores the how to make the most of personalization technologies without crossing that line. In fascinating detail, he describes initiatives underway that sound like science fiction, from biometric facial recognition sensors to employee behavior monitoring systems to geospatial vehicle-tracking devices-all of which are gathering, analyzing, recording, and disseminating information about us. Illustrating these increasingly common practices with examples drawn from all types of organizations, Kasanoff considers the implications, as individuals and businesses become increasingly interconnected. The result is not only a compelling and thought-provoking narrative, but also a practical framework from which to assess the opportunities and threats posed by personalization-and how you and your company will respond.
SQL Server Security: What DBAs and Programmers Need to Know
SQL Server Security: What DBAs and Programmers Need to Know is a comprehensive look at securing SQL Server 2000. Author K. Brian Kelley walks you through the basics of security and how it applies to an SQL Server installation. The focus of the book then shifts to the internal mechanisms SQL Server uses to protect data and audit access. Discussion of external security and vulnerabilities due to applications and the operating system as well as network vulnerabilities with respect to the transmission of login information, and unsecured data streams is included. Kelley also reviews several third-party tools that can assist in auditing, securing, and reporting on SQL Server.
Privacy Lost: How Technology is Endangering Your Privacy
While other books in the field focus on specific aspects of privacy or how to avoid invasions, David H. Holtzman — a master technologist, internet pioneer, security analyst, and former military codebreaker — presents a comprehensive insider's exposé of the world of invasive technology, who's using it, and how our privacy is at risk. Holtzman starts out by categorizing privacy violations into "The 7 Sins Against Privacy" and then goes on to explain in compelling and easy to understand language exactly how privacy is being eroded in every aspect of our lives.
Holtzman vividly reveals actual invasions and the dangers associated with the loss of privacy, and he takes a realistic look at the trade offs between privacy and such vital issues as security, rights, and economic development.
