Malicious Cryptography: Exposing Cryptovirology In the public eye, the word cryptography is virtually synonymous with security. The field as a whole is hailed as the primary enabling technology for electronic commerce, and provides for confidential as well as authentic digital communications. However, all that glitters is not gold, and Malicious Cryptography is the first book to reveal just how dark the dark side of cryptography truly is. The book presents a series of advanced cryptographic payloads for computer viruses, worms, and Trojan horse programs that are specifically tailored for their hosts. It also covers numerous countermeasures that can help protect against such attacks. |

UML 2 Toolkit UML 2 represents a significant update to the UML specification, from providing more robust mechanisms for modeling workflow and actions to making the modeling language more executable. Now in its second edition, this best-selling book provides you with all the tools you'll need for effective modeling with UML 2. The authors get you up to speed by presenting an overview of UML and its main features. You'll then learn how to apply UML to produce effective diagrams as you progress through more advanced topics such as use-case diagrams, classes and their relationships, dynamic diagrams, system architecture, and extending UML. The authors take you through the process of modeling with UML so that you can successfully deliver a software product or information management system. |

Mac OS X Security Mac OS X now operates on a UNIX engine. As such it is much more powerful than previous operating systems. It is now a multitasking, multithreaded, multi-user, and multiprocessor system with enhanced interoperability with other systems. Along with that increased power comes increased security vulnerability. In Mac OS X Security, authors Bruce Potter, Preston Norvell and Brian Wotring take readers from the basics of OS X security through the best practices for handling security incidents. Client and network security are addressed, as are auditing and forensics. |

802.11 Security Wireless networks are fraught with new security challenges for users and network administrators alike. The lack of physical security, access to free auditing tools that double as attack tools, and the ability to monitor traffic without being noticed make wireless networks an easy target for malicious users. In 802.11 Security, authors Bruce Potter and Bob Fleck tackle the issues unique to wireless networking, covering the areas of risk and potential attack and the tools that can be used to successfully defend against them. |
