Newspapers & Magazines
"The book offers relevant definitions in the field of security and computer networks ... . The book is definitively addressed to the general nonspecialist public; practitioners may be able to consult it for some definitions. ... It is, in my view, important to emphasize that all of the topics are covered in a merely definitional, descriptive way." (Carla Sanchez Aguilar, Computing Reviews, April, 2016)

"The book contains exercises and advanced exercises, along with relevant references, and comes with support materials for instructors ... making it useful for teaching courses on computer security. ... The exercises and projects are helpful for teaching. ... I believe the third edition will continue to receive praise from students, researchers, and practitioners. I strongly recommend it." (S. V. Nagaraj, Computing Reviews, August, 2015)
