Principles of Secure Network Systems Design

This book establishes a comprehensive framework for network security design, unifying the many concepts and aspects of network security and enabling all users to employ a common security foundation. It is presented from the perspective of fundamental principles underlying networking, network control algorithms and security. Using an accessible style and careful explanations, the principles and methodology address design concepts for current and future security concerns for networks."Principles of Secure Network Systems Design" presents the topic in three basic parts. Part one covers the basic background of network security and the current scope for security in all types of networks and organizations. Part two focuses on the essential nature of network security and a scientific methodology for secure network design. Lastly, part three discusses concrete applications of the design concepts with real world networks, using three comprehensive case studies oriented around ATM networks.
