Secure Electronic Commerce: Building the Infrastructure for Digital Signatures and Encryption: Building the Infrastructure for Signatures [Englisch] [Taschenbuch]

Have a look at Secure Electronic Commerce: Building the Infrastructure for Digital Signatures and Encryption if you've been charged with setting up a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for an organisation, or if you're just not content to trust commercial products' claims of security. This book gives a clear and complete overview of digital certificate management techniques. This richly detailed and heavily referenced volume generally stays clear of implementation specifics. Readers can count on it to provide the background in concepts and terminology that they'll need to make PKI design decisions.

Without exception, this is a very clearly written book, but there are rather few conceptual diagrams--and a few more graphics might have clarified the relationships among entities. Regardless, it's abundantly evident that the authors did a great deal of research--a rarity in this field. Nearly every other sentence contains a reference to an endnote. Study this book and the material it references, and participate in online forums on PKI issues to truly understand how PKI works. --David Wall

Topics covered: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) design and functionality, including the legal principles behind binding electronic transactions and the details of authentication, encryption, non-repudiation, and key management. Certificates, Certificate Authorities (CAs), and means of managing trust relationships are all covered. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

This is a guide to secure business transactions, on the Internet and elsewhere, which provides comprehensive coverage of both technical and legal issues. This text covers developments in digital signatures, public-key infrastructure, EDI technical standards, and the evolving law of electronic commerce. The techniques for ensuring that electronic transactions are binding and cannot be repudiated. Starting with an introduction to the underlying technologies and inherent risks of electronic commerce, the book considers the role of computer networks, the Internet, EDI and electronic mail, as well as the problem of ensuring that electronic transactions are resistant to fraud, may be traced and are legally binding in all jurisdictions. Current security technologies are explained in detail, from a business perspective. These include cryptography, digital signatures, public keys and symmetric keys, certificates, and authentication techniques. Networking security methods such as firewalls, secure messaging protocols and secure Web protocols are also discussed in detail. The book is aimed at anyone involved in the design, management, procurement, operation, legal support, or technical support of a business system based on the exchange of electronic transactions and computer networks.
