Produktbeschreibung

Combining hands-on work with an overview of fundamentals, this text integrates security analysis into a technical computing curriculum. It educates students on security issues, such as side-channel attacks, and deepens their understanding of how computers and networks work. The book presents basic principles and concepts, along with examples of current threats to illustrate how the principles can either enable or neutralize exploits. Classroom-tested case study projects prompt students to stage exploits and choose countermeasures to neutralize the attacks.
